Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following anatomical portions of a nephron connects the Bowman’s capsule to the loop of Henle?
A
distal convoluted tubule
B
connecting tubule
C
proximal convoluted tubule
D
collecting duct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The distal convoluted tubule connect the ascending loop of Henle to the collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-2: -glomerulus: a small intertwined group of capillaries within a kidney’s nephron that filters the blood to make urine. loop of Henle: a structure in a kidney’s nephron that connects the proximal convoluted tubule to the distal convoluted tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bowman’s capsule surrounds the glomerular capillary loops and participates in the filtration of blood from the glomerular capillaries. Bowman’s capsule also has a structural function and creates a urinary space through which filtrate can enter the nephron and pass to the proximal convoluted tubule.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Bowman’s capsule opens up into a series of tubules (proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and distal tubule) and then into the collecting duct, all of which are lined by a continuous layer of epithelial cells.
