Arrange the following in the sequence in which filtrate moves through them.
(1) Loop of Henle
(2) Bowman capsule
(3) Distal convoluted tubule
(4) Proximal convoluted tubule
A) 1, 2, 3, 4
B) 4, 2, 1, 3
C) 2, 4, 3, 1
D) 2, 4, 1, 3
E) 3, 4, 1, 2
Distal Convoluted Tubule
The segment of the nephron in the kidney where final adjustments in urine composition are made, crucial for regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
A segment of the nephron in the kidney where a major portion of the reabsorption of water, ions, and all organic nutrients occurs.
Bowman Capsule
A cup-like sac at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the kidney that performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine.
- Recognize and delineate the composition and role of elements in the nephron, such as the proximal and distal convoluted tubules, the loop of Henle, and the renal corpuscle.
