Which of the following correctly shows the order in which the filtrate moves through the structures of the nephron?
a. Distal tubule- Loop of Henle- Proximal tubule- Collecting duct.
b. Collecting duct- Loop of Henle- Proximal Tubule- Distal tubule.
c. Proximal tubule- Distal tubule- Collecting duct- Loop of Henle.
d. Proximal tubule- Loop of Henle- Distal tubule- Collecting duct.
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:
