Answer:

Proximal tubule

Step-by-step explanation:

Calcium is an important element in the body with majority of its percentage located in the bones. Its ions perform different functions in the body which includes muscle contraction, hormones secretion and including all other functions.

Calcium ion is absorbed in the intestines and then reabsorbed in the kidney. Much percentage of calcium ions is reabsorbed by passive mechanisms in the proximal convoluted tubule of the kidney tubule as compared to all other parts of the kidney tubule.
