Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Into which part of the nephron does the glomerular filtrate pass initially?
A
collecting duct
B
loop of Henle
C
Bowman’s capsule
D
proximal convoluted tubule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -After entering Bowman’s capsule, filtrate is passed to the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and finally the collecting duct.

Detailed explanation-3: -The filtered blood goes to the renal vein and back to the inferior vena cave. The filtrate in Bowman capsule goes to the rest of the nephron. Much of the rest of the nephron works to reabsorb the water glucose, amino acids, salts and water from the filtrate so that it is more concentrated urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bowman’s capsule encloses a cluster of microscopic blood vessels-capillaries-called the glomerulus, where wastes are filtered from the blood.
