Which of the following correctly describes the flow of filtrate as it leaves Bowman's capsule?
A) Collecting duct, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule
B) Loop of Henle, proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
C) Proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
D) Distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, collecting duct, proximal convoluted tubule

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct flow of filtrate in the nephron is from Bowman's capsule to the proximal convoluted tubule, then to the loop of Henle, followed by the distal convoluted tubule and finally to the collecting duct. Therefore, option C (proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct) is the best choice.
