Question

question 9 of 10
this is where filtration occurs in the nephron?
collecting duct
proximal tubule
distal tubule
glomerulus

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The glomerulus is a network of capillaries in the nephron. Blood pressure forces fluid and small solutes out of the blood and into the Bowman's capsule, a process called filtration. The collecting duct is involved in water reabsorption and urine concentration. The proximal and distal tubules are mainly for reabsorption and secretion of substances, not the initial filtration.

Answer:

Glomerulus
