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.
' structure that is the basis for its function, (c) The glomeruli and the proximal and distal convoluted tubules are located in the cortex of the kidney, but the loops of Henle run in parallel as straight sections down into the renal medulla and back up to the cortex.ll 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.
