Question

The part of the neprhon of kidney where Cl⁻ is
absorbed along with Na⁺ is
(a) ascending limb of Henle’s loop
(b) descending limb of Henle’s loop
(c) DCT
(d) PCT

Answer 1

The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. The body of the nephron is divided into  Renal corpuscle, Proximal convoluted tubule( PCT), Henle's loop and Distal convoluted tubule( DCT). In DCT Na+ and Cl are absorbed. Hence the region of the kidney in which  Na+ and Cl are reabsorbed is DCT by using sodium -chloride symporters.

So, the correct answer is 'DCT'.
