The nephron has several regions, each with a distinct role:
- The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) reabsorbs most of the filtrate's water, glucose, amino acids and ions, but is not primarily responsible for fine-tuning urine concentration.
- Bowman's capsule and the glomerular capillary network are involved in ultrafiltration of blood to form the filtrate, not in concentrating urine. …
