URINARY SYSTEM

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: -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-2: -The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is a segment of the renal tubule responsible for the reabsorption and secretion of various solutes and water. The PCT is located in the renal cortex, the outer part of the kidney, and is the first segment of the renal tubule, where it receives the filtrate from the renal corpuscle.

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