NEET - 2017
Hints
Which one of the following correctly explains the function of a specific part of a human nephron?
| 1. | Henle’s loop – most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate |
| 2. | Distal convoluted tubule – reabsorption of ions into the surrounding blood capillaries |
| 3. | Afferent arteriole – carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards renal vein |
| 4. | Podocytes - create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule |
