Answer #1

Answer:

d. Proximal tubule- Loop of Henle- Distal tubule- Collecting duct.

Nephrons are functional units of kidney to filter waste products from blood. Nephrons are also responsible for resorption.

Filtration will start at the renal corpuscle. Compact mass of looped capillaries (glomerulus), these are encapsulated by the proximal end of the renal tubule collectively called as Bowman's capsule.

Then the filtrate passes through the renal tubule in the below order:

  1. Proximal tubule
  2. Loop of Henle
  3. Distal tubule
  4. Collecting tubule
  5. Collecting duct
