Q.
Which of the following diagrams is correct with regard to the proximal (P) and distal (D) tubule of the Nephron.
- A

- B

- C

- D

Solution
During urine formation, the tubular cells actively secrete H, K and ammonia into the filtrate, helping maintain ionic and acid-base balance.
- PCT (proximal): selective secretion of H, ammonia and K into the filtrate; large-scale reabsorption of useful substances.
- DCT (distal): capable of reabsorbing HCO and selectively secreting H, K and NH.
The diagram in option (3) matches this pattern correctly.
