Question

The selective secretion of hydrogen ion, ammonia and potassium into the filtrate takes place mainly in (A) Proximal convoluted tubule (B) Henle's loop (C) Distal convoluted tubules (D) Collecting duct

Functions of PCT: 1. PCT absorbs almost all essential nutrients. 2. PCT absorbs about 70%-80% electrolytes and water. 3. As PCT selectively secretes H+ ions, ammonia and potassium ions into the filtrate and also absorbs HCO3- from it, it maintains the pH and ionic balance of the body fluids.
