Our body needs to remove the wastes that build up from cell activities and from digestion. If these wastes are not removed, then our cells can stop working and we can get very sick. The organ of our excretory system helps to release wastes from our body. The excretory system consists of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, a urinary bladder and a urethra. Each kidney is made up of nearly one million complex tubular structures called nephrons. Each nephron consists of a cup-shaped upper end called Bowman's capsule containing a bunch of capillaries called glomerulus. Bowman's capsule leads to tubular structure- proximal convoluted tubules, loop of henle, and distal convoluted tubules which ultimately joins the collecting tubule.
Question:
Glomerular filtrate is first collected by?
- Proximal convoluted tubule
- Bowman's capsule
- Distal convoluted tubule
- Loop of henle
