Refer the given figure of nephron.
Identify A, B, C and D and select the correct option regarding them
1. A- A tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole.
2. B-PCT-reabsorption of and selective secretion of H+ and K+ occurs here.
3. C-DCT-almost all glucose, amino acids, water, Na+, K+ and uric acid are absorbed here.
4. D-collecting duct-extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of medulla. Large amount of water is secreted in this region.
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 |
