Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proximal convoluted tubule is responsible for reabsorbing about 65% of filtered sodium and chloride ions, along with other solutes such as glucose and amino acids. The distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct play a role in fine-tuning sodium and water balance but reabsorb far less sodium and chloride than the proximal tubule. The glomerulus is not a structure involved in reabsorption, but rather filtration of blood. The term "renalron" is not a recognized structure in the nephron.
