Question:
Reabsorption of chloride ions (Cl) occurs in which part of the kidney?
Reabsorption of chloride ions (Cl) occurs in which part of the kidney?
Updated On: Jun 7, 2022
- Proximal convoluted tubule
- Ascending limb of Henle?s loop
- Collecting duct
- Distal convoluted tubule
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
From the Bowman?s capsule, the glomerular filtrate passes on to the convoluted tubule and flows through it to the collecting duct. During this course, its composition, osmotic pressure and pH change due to selective reabsorption of materials from it and secretion of more waste materials into it. The process is called tubular reasbsorption. Reabsorption of Cl ions occurs at DCT.

Excretory System Organs
Kidneys- Kidneys are bean-shaped structures located on either side of the backbone. In human each adult kidney size is 10-12 cm with a width of 5-7 cm and weighs around 120-170g and it have an inner concave structure.
Ureter - A pair of thin muscular tubes called the ureter. Ureter comes out of each kidney extending from the renal pelvis and it carries urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder.
Urinary Bladder - muscular sac-like structure which stores urine. The urinary bladder is emptied by the process of micturition.
Urethra- This tube comes out from the urinary bladder and helps to expel urine out of the body. It acts as the common route for sperms and urine in males.
