The main function of the proximal tubule is to reabsorb the water and solutes, as well as secrete the hydrogen ions to create a neutral blood composition. Loop of Henle The loop of Henle is the tubular portion of the nephron that lies between the proximal tubule and the distal tubule.The main function of the loop of Henle is to allow the reabsorption of the water and ions, such as sodium and chlorine, from the loop of Henle into the capillaries surrounding it.he main function of the proximal tubule is to reabsorb the water and solutes, as well as secrete the hydrogen ions to create a neutral blood composition.
