The filtrate moves out of the glomerular capsule to the ________ and then to the loop of the nephron.
A) proximal convoluted tubule
B) juxtaglomerular apparatus
C) collecting duct
D) renal pelvis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The filtrate initially moves out of the glomerular capsule and into the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. From there, it moves through the loop of the nephron and into the distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, and eventually the renal pelvis for excretion. The juxtaglomerular apparatus plays a role in regulating blood pressure and filtration, but is not part of the pathway for the filtrate.
