The proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron is lined by simple cuboidal epithelium with microvilli that form a brush border. The microvilli increase the surface area of selective reabsorption. About 70 to 80 per cent of water and electrolytes in the glomerular filtrate are reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.
