Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which portion of the nephron are substances like drug metabolites and waste secreted into filtrate?
A
Bowman’s capsule
B
Proximal convoluted tubule
C
Loop of Henle
D
Distal convoluted tubule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reabsorption takes place in the ‘kidney tubule or nephron’. Different parts of the kidney tubule such as proximal & distal convoluted tubules, Henle’s loop, and collecting duct play a major role in reabsorption. Most of the reabsorption takes place in proximal convoluted tubules (PCT).

Detailed explanation-2: -Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.
