Each nephron of the kidney consists of a long tubule and associated small blood vessels.Blood cells and plasma proteins are too large to enter with the glomerular filtrate.What is the correct path for the filtrate to follow through the nephron in the production of urine?
A)Bowman's capsule → distal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → proximal convoluted tubule → collecting duct
B)Bowman's capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → distal convoluted tubule → collecting duct
C)Bowman's capsule → loop of Henle → proximal convoluted tubule → distal convoluted tubule → collecting duct
D)Bowman's capsule → collecting duct → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → distal convoluted tubule
E)collecting duct → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → distal convoluted tubule→ Bowman's capsule

The correct path for the filtrate to follow through the nephron in the production of urine is Bowman's capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → distal convoluted tubule → collecting duct. This is because the filtrate enters the nephron through the Bowman's capsule, where it then travels through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule before entering the collecting duct, which leads to the ureter and eventually the bladder.
