Question

Part of nephron that opens into collecting duct is

• A. DCT
• B. Henle's loop
• C. Glomeruli
• D. Bowman's capsule

Answer 1

The correct option is A DCT

The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its body is divided into renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), Henle's loop and distal convoluted tubule (DCT). The distal convoluted tubules of many nephrons open into a straight tube called collecting duct. Hence DCT is a part of the nephron that opens into collecting duct.

So, the correct answer is 'DCT'.
