Question

What are the differences between the functions of PCT and DCT?

Answer 1

Proximal convoluted tubule
The cells present in pct have brush border which is which is capable of absorption.
Distal convoluted tubule
Dct is highly coiled part found in the medula of the kidney.

I know this much only according to my age..
Hope u will find ur answer

Answer 2

Functions of PCT :-
→ The cells present in this part have brush boarder which is capable of absorption
→ PCT receives primary urine from glomerulus. It regulates excretion of urine by absorbing excess water from primary urine.
→ Small amounts of tubular secretion also takes place in the proximal convoluted tubule.

Functions if DCT :-
→ Distal convoluted tubule is the highly coiled part found in medulla of the kidney.
→ After reabsorption of water the urine travels through loop of the Henle into Distal convoluted tubule. Here water and salts are excreted. It maintains proper concentration and pH of the urine.
→ The secretion if wastes like extra salts,ions of K+ ,Na+,Cl - and H+ takes place in distal convoluted tubule.
