Question

Choose the correct option :

Water reabsorption in nephrone mainly occurs through:
a) PCT
b) Loop of Henle
c) Bowman's Capsule
d) DCT & collecting tubules​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) Loop of Henle

option (b) is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

(b) LOOP OF HENLE

Explanation:

The human excretory system is composed of 1 pair of kidneys. The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. The body of the nephron is divided into renal corpuscle, PCT, Henle's loop and DCT. The PCT is lined by cuboidal epithelium with brush border. The brush border increases the surface area for absorption of water and other substances. Hence in the nephron, water absorption is maximum(90%) in the Proximal convoluted tubule.

So, the correct answer is 'Proximal convoluted tubule'.
