Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Place the parts of the nephron in order. 1. ascending limb of loop; 2. descending limb of loop; 3. proximal convoluted tubule; 4. glomerulus; 5. collecting duct; 6. distal convoluted tubule
A
4, 3, 2, 1, 6, 5
B
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
C
2, 1, 6, 4, 3, 5
D
1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 5
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is option (d) Proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct. The renal tubule is a narrow tube connected to the renal corpuscle of a nephron where the processes of tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion occur.

Detailed explanation-3: -proximal convoluted tubule (found in the renal cortex) loop of Henle (mostly in the medulla) distal convoluted tubule (found in the renal cortex) collecting tubule (in the medulla) collecting duct (in the medulla)
