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.
All of the glomeruli are located in the cortex. The initial segment of a renal tubule is called the proximal convoluted tubuleâ proximal because it is the first segment of renal tubule to receive the filtrate from the glomerulus, and convoluted because it is twisted (Figure 51.9c).All the proximal convoluted tubules are also located in the cortex.At a certain point, the renal tubule takes a dive directly down into the medulla. The portion of the tubule in the medulla is the loop of Henle.ll the proximal convoluted tubules are also located in the cortex.
