Which of the following is false about the nephron? Secretion does not occur in the nephron loop. Most reabsorption (about 85%) is facultative and can be adjusted. Secretion can include drugs, nitrogenous wastes and H+. Facultative reabsorption occurs in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts. Most secretion and reabsorption is performed by transport proteins.

Step 1

Secretion does not occur in the nephron loop: This statement is true. Secretion mainly occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule and the distal convoluted tubule, not in the nephron loop (also known as the loop of Henle). Show more…
