Refer the given figure of nephron.
Identify A, B, C and D and select the correct option regarding them
A-Glomerulus -a tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole.
B-PCT-reabsorption of HCO3 and selective secretion of H and K+ occurs here.
C-DCT-almost all glucose, amino acids, water, Na, K and uric acid are absorbed here.
D-collecting duct-extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of medulla. Large amount of water is secreted in this region.
A.
A-Glomerulus -a tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole.
PCT-The PCT regulates pH of the filtrates by exchanging hydrogen ions in the interstitium for bicarbonate ions in the filtrate. It is also responsible for secreting organic acids such as creatinine and other bases into the filtrate
DCT-It 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.
Collecting duct-The collecting duct system is the final component of the kidney to influence the body's electrolyte and fluid balance.
