Matching
Choose the nephron structure that best matches the description. Some choices may be used more than once.
Premises:
may start in the medulla and end in the cortex
site of over half of the water reabsorption from the filtrate
tubule segment that usually has the largest increase in osmolarity
surrounds the glomerulus
site where water and small substances are first passed into the nephron
may start in the cortex and end in the medulla
empties into a collecting duct
Na+and Cl-are actively transported out here, but water and urea are not moved across the membrane
tubule segment that usually has the largest decrease in osmolarity
site of reabsorption of nearly all glucose
Responses:
descending segment of the loop of Henle
Bowman's capsule
ascending segment of the loop of Henle
distal convoluted tubule
proximal convoluted tubule
