Proximal convoluted tubule

Loop of henlé

Distil convoluted tubule

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -After leaving the proximal convoluted tubule, the tubular fluid enters the proximal straight tubule, where around 15% of the phosphate is reabsorbed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Finally, the distal convoluted tubule. These tubules are less numerous than the proximal convoluted tubules.
Detailed explanation-3: -The proximal tubule is the segment of the nephron in kidneys which begins from the renal pole of the Bowman’s capsule to the beginning of loop of Henle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The first part is called the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) due to its proximity to the glomerulus; it stays in the renal cortex. The second part is called the loop of Henle, or nephritic loop because it forms a loop (with descending and ascending limbs) that goes through the renal medulla.
Detailed explanation-5: -Renal corpuscle; Proximal tubule; Loop of Henle; Distal tubule; Collecting duct.
