Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proximal tubule is responsible for reabsorbing about two-thirds of filtered water and solutes. The loop of Henle helps in the formation of a concentration gradient in the medulla of the kidney, but it is not the primary site of reabsorption. The distal tubule has a role in fine-tuning electrolyte balance and water reabsorption, but the majority of reabsorption happens in the proximal tubule. The Bowman's capsule is responsible for the initial filtration of blood, but it does not actively participate in reabsorption.
