The proximal tubule has been divided morphologically and functionally in two portions. The renal tubule portion that extends from the bowman capsule in the kidney cortex into the kidney medulla. It can be further classified into the proximal convoluted tubule pct and the proximal straight tubule pst.
It can be further classified into the proximal convoluted tubule pct and the proximal straight tubule pst.
The proximal convoluted tubule is situated in the cortex that is the outer portion of the kidney between the renal capsule and the renal medulla. The renal tubule portion that extends from the bowman capsule in the kidney cortex into the kidney medulla. The proximal tubule is the segment of the nephron in kidneys which begins from the renal pole of the bowman s capsule to the beginning of loop of henle. It can be further classified into the proximal convoluted tubule pct and the proximal straight tubule pst.
