Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Proximal tubules are responsible for reabsorbing approximately 65% of filtered load and most, if not all, of filtered amino acids, glucose, solutes, and low molecular weight proteins. Proximal tubules also play a key role in regulating acid-base balance by reabsorbing approximately 80% of filtered bicarbonate.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of the PCT is to reabsorb water and solutes like sodium, which is continuously pumped into the interstitium to create a gradient that allows many other solutes and even water to be reabsorbed by tubule cells.
