Which of the following occurs at the distal convoluted tubule?
A)180 L of water is filtered into the tubules.
B)Renin is secreted.
C)Urine flows from the distal convoluted tubule into the ascending loop of Henle.
D)Sodium and water are reabsorbed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distal convoluted tubule is responsible for the reabsorption of sodium and water from the tubular fluid back into the bloodstream. This helps regulate the concentration of these substances in the body and conserve them as needed. Option A is incorrect because filtration occurs at the glomerulus, not the distal convoluted tubule. Option B is incorrect because renin is secreted by specialized cells in the juxtaglomerular apparatus, which is located near the glomerulus. Option C is incorrect because urine flows from the distal convoluted tubule into the collecting duct, not the ascending loop of Henle.
