Rearrange these parts of a nephron in the order in which the fluid flows from the filtration membrane through the nephron.
Rearrange these parts of a nephron in the order in which the fluid flows from the filtration membrane through the nephron.
The correct option is A Renal corpuscle; Proximal tubule; Loop of Henle; Distal tubule; Collecting duct
The following is the order of flow of fluid-
Renal Corpuscle - The nephron begins as a blind, cup-like pocket called Bowman's capsule. The capsule envelopes a bundle of capillaries called the glomerulus. Bowman's capsule and glomerulus make up the renal corpuscle.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule - is the longest and widest segment of the nephron.
Loop of Henle - The cells of the descending limb of the loop are simple squamous and give this region of the tubule a narrow diameter.
Distal Convoluted Tubule - Following the loop, the nephron continues as the distal tubule.
Collecting Duct - There is a gradual transition from the end of the distal tubule to the beginning of the collecting duct.
