Answer 2

Proximal convoluted tubule doesn't reabsorbs 100% glucose..so..
PCT doesn't recieve filtrate directly from bowman's capsule..
PCT transports blood into peritubular capillary by tubular reabsorbtion..True
PCT reabsorbs filtrate which end up into peritubular capillary.True
PCT is the only site of glucose reabsorption in nephron..True
It is situated in the regions of the cortex and the medulla of the kidneys.True

Answer 3

I thought pct only has filtrate and not blood @ryaan

Answer 4
