As learnt

FUNCTION OF THE TUBULES -

Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)

- wherein

PCT is lined by simple cuboidal brush border epithelium which increases the surface area for reabsorption. Nearly all of the essential nutrients, and 70-80 per cent of electrolytes and water are reabsorbed by this segment

 

  PCT reabsorbs \sim 70-80% of water and electrolytes
