Question

True or false: The DCT are lined with simple cuboidal epithelium but the cells are larger than those of the PCT and the microvilli are more dense.

Answer 1

False. The cells in the DCT are smaller than those in the PCT and have fewer microvilli.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. The Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) is lined with simple cuboidal epithelium, but the cells are smaller than those of the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT). While there are fewer microvilli on the apical surface of DCT cells compared to PCT cells, it is incorrect to say that the microvilli of DCT cells are more dense.
