Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Calcium. Approximately 7%–10% of filtered calcium is reabsorbed in the DCT. In contrast to other segments of the nephron, which passively reabsorb calcium through paracellular routes, 100% of the calcium that is reabsorbed in the DCT occurs by active transcellular mechanisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The role of the early DCT is the absorption of ions, including sodium, chloride and calcium. It is impermeable to water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reabsorption and Secretion in the Distal Convoluted Tubule Approximately 80 percent of filtered water has been recovered by the time the dilute forming urine enters the DCT.
