THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

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: -The Bowman’s capsule is found in the outer part of the kidney, the cortex. Essentially, the capsule is a sealed, expanded sac at the end of the tubule, the rest of which elongates into a twisted and looped tubule in which urine is formed.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.
