Question

Choose the mismatched part of nephron with its function.

• A. Bowman's capsule-Glomerular filtration
• B. PCT-Reabsorption of $Na ^{+}$and $K ^{+}$
• C. DCT-Reabsorption of glucose
• D. Loop of Henle-Urine concentration

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Option (c) contains the mismatched pair. It can be corrected as
Distal Convoluted Tubule $(DCT)$ performs conditional reabsorption of $Na ^{+}$and water. $DCT$ is also capable of reabsorption of $HCO _{3}{ }^{-}$and selective secretion of hydrogen and potassium ions and $NH _{3}$ to maintain the $pH$ and $Na - K$ balance in blood. Rest matches are correct.
