Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proximal tubule is not the site of action of renin. Renin is produced and released by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney, which are located in the walls of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomeruli. The primary function of the proximal tubule is the reabsorption of water and solutes (such as glucose, amino acids, and electrolytes) from the filtered fluid, returning them to the bloodstream.
