Question

Place the regions of the nephron in the correct order for the process of urine formation. a: Capsular space of glomerulus b: Nephron loop c: Collecting duct d: Distal convoluted tubule e: Proximal convoluted tubule

Answer 1

Answer:

Capsular space of glomerulus > Proximal convoluted tubule > Nephron loop > Distal convoluted tubule > Collecting duct

a,e,b,d,c

Explanation:

The stages of urine formation are:

• Filtration: at the glomerulus, though pressure filtration, substances such as water, NaCl, glucose, Urea, etc. are removed into the Bowman's capsule
• Reabsorption: In the proximal convoluted tubule occurs the selective reabsorption, this creates an osmotic gradient causing water to reenter blood, next in the loop of Henle water leaves nephron making urine more concentrated allowing more water reabsorption
• Secretion: In the distal convoluted tube water enters the urine again and then is collected in the collected duct and finally carried to the bladder.

Considering this information and the image I added we can conclude that the correct order is Capsular space of glomerulus > Proximal convoluted tubule > Nephron loop > Distal convoluted tubule > Collecting duct.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
