    <th>PROXIMAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE</th> <th>DISTAL CONVOLUTED TUBULE</th>
    The cells present in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) have brush border which is capable of absorption. Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) is the highly coiled part found in the medulla of the kidney.
    URINE
    Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) receives primary urine from glomerulus. Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) receives urine from the glomerulus.
    RESULTS IN
    PCT regulates excretion of urine by absorbing excess water from primary urine. In DCT, water and salts are secreted.
    FUNCTION
    A small amount of tubular secretion also takes place in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT). The secretion of wastes of ions takes place in the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT).
    OTHERS
    The substances which are reabsorbed into peritubular network from PCT are glucose, amino acid's, vitamin-c, potassium, Calcium, sodium chloride, 75% of water, etc. The substances like urea, uric acid, creatinine, sodium, potassium, hydrogen ions are secreted into DCT.
