Q.

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

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. 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.
