Early PCTโcontains brush border. Reabsorbs all glucose and amino acids and most HCO 3 โ , Na + , Cl โ , PO 4 3โ , K + , H 2 O, and uric acid. Isotonic absorption. Generates and secretes NH 3 , which enables the kidney to secrete more H + . PTHโinhibits Na + /PO 4 3โ cotransport = Increased PO 4 3โ excretion
PTH acts on the PCT to dec Phosphate reabsorption--> more Phosphate in the urine. PTH also acts at DCT to inc Ca reabsorption. This question was focused on the Phosphate aspect of the site of action for PTH.
