NaCl sympo is present in which pa of the nephron?

A
PCT
B
Loop of Henle
C
DCT
D
Collecting duct
High-Yield Explanation
In DCT: - The sympoer is NCC (Na+-Cl- cotranspoer) In the PCT, the apical membrane has Na+/H+-antipoer, which couples H+ secretion with the Na+ movement across the apical membrane. In the TAL of loop of Henle: - The sympoer NKCC moves 1 Na+, 1 K+, 2 Cl- through the apical membrane into the cell. In the late distal tubule and collecting duct: - Na+ diffuses across the apical membrane through the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC).
