Question

Which of the following options has the correct pair of nephron parts that maintain pH and ionic balance of blood?\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : DCT maintains the pH and ionic balance in the blood by reabsorption of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$, water, $\mathrm{HCO}_{3}{ }^{-}$and selective secretion of $\mathrm{H}^{+}, \mathrm{K}^{+}$and $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$. Collecting duct plays a role in the maintenance of pH and ionic balance of blood by reabsorption of water, and selective secretion of $\mathrm{H}^{+}$and $\mathrm{K}^{+}$ions.
