Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The correct order for the renal tubules is:
A
proximal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle
B
distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, proximal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
C
proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct
D
collecting duct, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, we can say that the correct sequence is Glomerulus → Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) → Henle loop → Collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-2: -After leaving the renal corpuscle, the filtrate passes through the renal tubule in the following order, as shown in the diagram: proximal convoluted tubule (red: found in the renal cortex) loop of Henle (blue: mostly in the medulla) distal convoluted tubule (purple: found in the renal cortex)

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence the correct order is ‘Glomerular filtration → Reabsorption → Secretion’.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are 3 main steps of urine formation: Glomerular filtration, Reabsorption Secretion. These processes ensure that only waste and excess water are removed from the body. Each nephron has a glomerulus, the site of blood filtration.
