Most of the filtrate is reabsorbed through the walls of the

A) distal convoluted tubule.
B) loop of Henle.
C) proximal convoluted tubule.
D) collecting duct.
E) glomerulus.

Distal Convoluted Tubule

A portion of the kidney nephron that plays a role in the reabsorption of water and ions from the filtrate, contributing to the regulation of blood pressure, pH, and electrolyte balance.

Loop Of Henle

A U-shaped tube in the kidney nephron essential for concentrating urine and conserving water by creating an osmotic gradient in the medulla.

Glomerulus

A network of small blood vessels located in the kidney that performs the first step of filtering blood to form urine.
