Question

question 2
which of the following choices correctly lists the order of the nephron?
a afferent arteriole, glomerulus, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
b bowmans capsule, afferent arteriole, glomerulus, distal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, proximal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
c collecting duct, afferent arteriole, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, glomerulus, distal convoluted tubule
d afferent arteriole, glomerulus, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule

Explanation:

The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Blood enters the nephron via the afferent arteriole, which leads to the glomerulus (a tuft of capillaries). The glomerulus is surrounded by Bowman's capsule. After filtration in the glomerulus - Bowman's capsule complex (renal corpuscle), the filtrate moves to the proximal convoluted tubule. Then it goes to the loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), followed by the distal convoluted tubule, and finally to the collecting duct.

Answer:

A. Afferent arteriole, glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
