Which part of the nephron is primarily involved in the reabsorption of glucose and amino acids?

Question

Team JKExamLibrary · Accepted Answer

The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) reabsorbs about 70-80% of electrolytes and water, and almost 100% of glucose, amino acids, and vitamins back into the blood via active transport and facilitated diffusion. The loop of Henle concentrates urine, the DCT reabsorbs sodium and water under hormonal control, and the collecting duct reabsorbs water (ADH-dependent). PCT cells have microvilli for increased surface area.
