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.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule. The filtrate in the Bowman's space I just mentioned enters the first duct in the renal tubule. This duct is called the proximal convoluted tubule, which is a section of the renal tubule located in the kidney's cortex that is responsible for the reabsorption of the majority of ultrafiltrate.he word 'proximal' in 'proximal convoluted tubule' implies it's near or attached to the renal corpuscle, and if you look at the image on your screen, you can also see how convoluted this duct is due to a bunch of twists and turns.
