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: -Renal corpuscle; Proximal tubule; Loop of Henle; Distal tubule; Collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes. Each nephron has a glomerulus to filter your blood and a tubule that returns needed substances to your blood and pulls out additional wastes.
