Arrange the following structures of the mammalian nephron in the correct sequence through which fluid flows during the process of urine formation, starting from the site of ultrafiltration.
- 1Bowman's capsule
- 2Proximal convoluted tubule
- 3Loop of Henle
- 4Distal convoluted tubule
- 5Collecting duct
Cevap
The correct sequence of fluid flow through the nephron is: Bowman's capsule → Proximal convoluted tubule → Loop of Henle → Distal convoluted tubule → Collecting duct.
During urine formation, ultrafiltration forces fluid out of the renal capillaries into Bowman's capsule. The filtrate then flows into the proximal convoluted tubule, travels down and up the loop of Henle, enters the distal convoluted tubule, and finally drains into the collecting duct.
