Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of water, electrolytes, and nutrients are reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubules. The loop of Henle is responsible for water reabsorption, but not necessarily nutrient reabsorption. The distal convoluted tubules are responsible for fine-tuning of electrolyte balance, but not necessarily reabsorption of water or nutrients. The glomerulus is responsible for filtration, not reabsorption.
