Collecting duct
(Loop of Henle)
Simple
squamous epithelium - which allows reabsorption of molecules - present in the Renal corpuscle cells with microvilli- primarily in the proximal convulutes tubule -which helps in the reabsorption of 6065% of the water filtered in the glomerulus, along with almost all of the nutrients , ions, vitamins, and small plasma proteins, this can be seen in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron,
Cuboidal
Simple
epithelia in the loop of henle where the major exchanges of water and salts takes place which helps maintain the bodys essential and electrolyte balance
cuboidal epithelium with short microvilli - primarily in the distal convoluted tubule. -where secretion and reabsorption of ion takes place, reponsible to the regulation of the pH in the urine
Simple
