Question

Compare the processes of the distal tubule to the proximal tubule

Answer 1

A proximal convoluted tubule drains filtrate away from a renal corpuscle. A loop of Henle descends into the medulla, makes a hairpin turn, and returns to the cortex.
The distal convoluted tubule passes near to the original corpuscle then leads to a collecting duct.

Answer 2

Distal tubule and proximal tubule

Explanation:

• Proximal Convoluted Tubule

• The word 'proximal' in 'proximal convoluted tubule' implies it's near or attached to the renal corpuscle, The proximal tubule is the portion of the nephron in kidneys which starts from the renal post of the Bowman's container to the start of the circle of Henle. It tends to be additionally grouped into the proximal tangled tubule (PCT) and the proximal straight tubule

• Distal Tubule  

• Once the filtrate passes through the thick ascending limb of Henle, it enters the distal convoluted tubule, which is a duct of the renal tubule located in the kidney's cortex that reabsorbs calcium, sodium, and chloride and regulates the pH of urine by secreting protons and absorbing bicarbonate. The reason this is called the distal, as opposed to proximal, convoluted tubule is that it is the segment farthest away in terms of position and connection to the renal corpuscle.
