Ans:E. Proximal tubule
Because About 65% of the water filtered by the glomeruli (180 L/day) is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule.
15% loop of henle
10% distal tubule.
less than 10% in the collecting ducts
The amount of water reabsorbed in the proximal tubule and loop of Henle is not affected by ADH, because ADH does not affect tubular permeability in these segments of the nephron. |
