Question

Fill in the correct labels for the following figure using the word bank below.
 
-B __________
A)Bowman's capsule 
B)Collecting duct 
C)Glomerulus 
D)Loop of Henle 
E)Proximal convoluted tubule

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The structure labeled C is the glomerulus, which is the network of capillaries where filtration occurs in the kidney.

Answer: E
 The structure labeled E is the proximal convoluted tubule, where reabsorption of important molecules such as glucose and amino acids occurs.

Answer: D
 The structure labeled D is the Loop of Henle, which is responsible for creating a concentration gradient in the kidney, necessary for water reabsorption.

Answer: A
 The structure labeled A is Bowman's capsule, which surrounds the glomerulus and collects the filtered molecules and ions from the blood.

Answer: B
 The structure labeled B is the collecting duct, which is responsible for final concentration and elimination of urine.
