A)ascending limb of loop of Henle; proximal tubule; distal tubule; collecting tubule; Bowman's capsule; descending limb of loop of Henle
B)Bowman's capsule; proximal tubule; descending limb of loop of Henle; ascending limb of loop of Henle; distal tubule; collecting tubule
C)Bowman's capsule; distal tubule; proximal tubule; collecting tubule; descending limb of loop of Henle; ascending limb of loop of Henle
D)collecting tubule; Bowman's capsule; proximal tubule; descending limb of loop of Henle; ascending limb of loop of Henle; distal tubule

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of flow of filtrate through the nephron is from Bowman's capsule to the proximal tubule, then to the descending limb of the loop of Henle, ascending limb of the loop of Henle, distal tubule, and finally to the collecting tubule. Option B is the only one that follows this order.
