Question on: JAMB Biology - 2024
The part of the kidney where the selective reabsorption takes place is
A
Glomerulus
B
Bowman's capsule
C
Henle's loop
D
Urethra
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
Selective reabsorption primarily occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. The loop of Henle mainly reabsorbs water and ions like sodium and chloride.
- Glomerulus: Filtration occurs here.
- Bowman's capsule: Receives filtrate from the glomerulus.
- Henle's loop: Key site for water and ion reabsorption.
- Urethra: Tube that carries urine out of the body.
