Q28 / 157 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Zoology · Excretory Products and their Elimination

Which one of the following parts of the nephron are lined with cuboidal epithelium with very few microvilli?

  • A
    Proximal convoluted Tubule
  • Correct answer
    B
    Distal Convoluted Tubule
  • C
    Bowman's capsule
  • D
    Glomerulus

Solution

In a nephron, PCT has cuboidal epithelium with microvilli. Hence there is maximum absorption at PCT. DCT has cuboidal epithelium with low microvilli, Bowman's capsule has squamous epithelium and Glomerulus is a tuft of fenestrated capillaries with squamous epithelium.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
