Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsProximal convoluted tubule is involved in reabsorption of 
of electrolytes.
Distal convoluted tubule is involved in secretion of hydrogen, potassium ions and 
in order to maintain pH and sodiumpotassium balance in blood (ionic balance).
Henle's loop (the descending limb) is permeable to water, but almost impermeable to electrolytes. This concentrates the urine (filtrate) as it moves down.
Counter current mechanisms helps in maintaining a concentration gradient in the medullary interstitium of kidney.
Renal corpuscle involves filtration of blood via glomerulus and Bowman's capsule.
