PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Bowman’s capsule empties the filtrate into the proximal tubule and thus, is said to be the first part of the nephron. The distal convoluted tubule (DCT) is a portion of kidney nephron between the loop of Henle and the collecting duct system.

Detailed explanation-2: -This part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle. Its main function is to reabsorb water and sodium chloride from the filtrate. This conserves water for the organism, producing highly concentrated urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Ultra-filtration takes place in the glomerulus. Glomerular filtrate collects in the Bowman’s capsule.
