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.
Functions of the Distal Convoluted Tubule. The distal convoluted tubule. 1  reabsorbs Na+ ions through coupled secretion of H+ or K+ ions into the tubular fluid, a process which requires the presence of the adrenal hormone aldosterone.2  By acidifying the urine the distal convoluted tubule plays an important role in acid-base balance.unctions of the Distal Convoluted Tubule.
