The distal convoluted tubule actively transports substances into the blood, reabsorbs water and salts according to the body's needs, and regulates blood pH through selective ion reabsorption.
This card outlines the distal convoluted tubule's roles: actively transporting substances into blood, reabsorbing water and salts based on body needs, and controlling blood pH by selective ion reabsorption.
