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: -The filtrate flows from the proximal tubule and into the Loop of Henle. The loop of Henle concentrates the filtrate, by removing more water from it, and passes it to the distal tubule. From the distal tubule it travels to the collecting duct-now called urine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Generally, a nephron consists of six parts, i.e., Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, Proximal convoluted tube, Loop of Henle, Distal convoluted tube, and the collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -The loop of Henle is a U-shaped tube that consists of a descending limb and ascending limb. It transfers fluid from the proximal to the distal tubule.
