Question

Consider the different parts of the nephron mentioned below:

1) Urine collecting duct

2) PCT

3) DCT

4) Loop of Henle

5) Bowman's capsule

Which of the following depicts the correct order in which these are organised

• A. 5, 2, 4, 3, 1
• B. 5, 3, 2, 4, 1
• C. 1, 5, 2, 4, 3
• D. 1, 5, 2, 3, 4

Answer 1

The correct option is A

5, 2, 4, 3, 1

The glomerular filtrate follows this path, as the useful substances are re-absorbed in the PCT & loop of Henle, and some waste substances are added to the urine at the DCT.
