Which of these show a correct order of urine formation?
A
Filtration, secretion, reabsorption
B
Reabsorption, filtration, secretion
C
Secretion, filtration, reabsorption
D
Filtration, reabsorption, secretion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence the correct order is ‘Glomerular filtration → Reabsorption → Secretion’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Filtrate moves from Bowman’s capsule to the proximal tubule and into the loop of Henle, which dives into the renal medulla before returning to the renal cortex. From the loop of Henle, filtrate is transferred to the distal tubule and into the collecting duct, where it travels into the renal medulla for collection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Urine formation occurs in the kidney in three stages: filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
