This is the correct order of filtrate flow through the nephron. The filtrate leaves the glomerular capsule and enters the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). It then travels through the loop of Henle (descending limb, then ascending limb), followed by the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Finally, the filtrate enters the collecting duct which leads to the renal pelvis.
