Which of the following statements are true of nephrons (Select all that apply)?
A)A nephron changes blood plasma to renal filtrate and then to urine.
B)A renal tubule consists of a proximal convoluted tubule,loop of Henle,distal convoluted tubule,and collecting tubule.
C)The first step in the formation of urine is filtration,which takes place in the renal corpuscle from a glomerulus to a Bowman's capsule.
D)Glomerular capillaries are more permeable than are other capillaries.
E)Podocytes are the inner layer of Bowman's capsule,and as a layer are very permeable.
F)Filtration of plasma separates materials based on size; that is,larger materials remain in the blood.

A) Nephrons are responsible for filtering blood plasma and producing urine.
B) The structure of a nephron includes a renal tubule composed of a proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting tubule.
C) Filtration takes place in the renal corpuscle, from the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule.
D) Glomerular capillaries are more permeable than other capillaries, allowing for filtration of plasma.
E) Podocytes are the inner layer of Bowman's capsule, and their structure allows for increased permeability.
