Question

In the nephron, the highest concentration of salt is found surrounding the

Select one:
a. loop of Henle.
b. Bowman's capsule.
c. distal convoluted tubule.
d. proximal convoluted tubule.​

Answer 1

The correct answer is - distal convoluted tubule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proximal convoluted has the maximum amount of reabsorption and the least amount of salt reabsorption. There will be the maximum amount of salt inside the proximal convoluted tubule as it absorbs most of the salt concentration. Whereas distal proximal tubules have more salt concentration in the surrounding area as they are not able to absorb salt in comparison to the other parts of the nephron.

The correct answer is - distal convoluted tubule.
