The area of the nephron that lacks microvilli and is under hormonal control for the reabsorption of sodium is the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) has microvilli and is responsible for the majority of reabsorption in the nephron. The nephron loop is responsible for creating a concentration gradient in the medulla. The papillary duct is the final portion of the nephron that empties into the calyx of the kidney.
