Question

PCT

Loop of Henle
Collecting duct​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Over 180 liters of urine is produced in the human body every day. Out of this, only 1.5 liters is actually excreted. This means that 99% of the urine produced is reabsorbed in the body. Various solutes are absorbed in different parts of the renal tubule. Maximum water absorption takes place in the proximal convoluted tubule.

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