Choose the part of the uriniferous tubule that shows the presence of cuboidal epithelium with brush border? (A) Proximal convoluted tubule (B) Distal convoluted tubule (C) Bowman's capsule (D) Glomerulus

In a nephron, PCT has cuboidal epithelium with microvilli (brush border). Hence there is maximum absorption at PCT. DCT has cuboidal epithelium without microvilli, Bowman's capsule has squamous epithelium and Glomerulus is a tuft of fenestrated capillaries with squamous epithelium.
