The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is a small tubular structure within the nephron of the kidney. The PCT connects Bowman's capsule with the proximal straight tubule, and it is essential for the reabsorption of water and solutes from filtrate within the nephron.
Although the proximal and distal convoluted tubules are both made from columnar epithelial cells, they look different under the microscope. Cells in the distal tubule appear shorter, whereas cells in the proximal convoluted tubule have what is called a brush border appearance.These cells can be damaged due to diabetes or advanced stages of the diseases described above.ells in the distal tubule appear shorter, whereas cells in the proximal convoluted tubule have what is called a brush border appearance.
