The glomerulus is correctly described as the proximal end of the proximal convoluted tubule. (Ans D)
Explanation:
Proximal convoluted tubule (PST) is the portion (segment) of the nephron in the kidney. PST starts from the renal pole (of the bowmans capsule's) to the beginning of loop of henel. It can be classified into the :
PCT (Proximal convoluted tubule)
PST (Proximal straight tubule)
Proximal convoluted tubule is used for selective re-absorption of nutrients (such as glucose, water etc.) from the tubules (cell lining of this tubules are ciliated for maximum surface area for re-absorption) fluid back into the blood.
