Arrange and rewrite the terms in each group in the correct order to be in a logical sequence beginning with the term that is underlined:
Loop of Henle, Distal convoluted tubule, BOWMAN’S CAPSULE, Proximal convoluted tubule. (Begin with: Bowman’s Capsule)
Topic: Path of filtrate through the nephron
Answer
Bowman’s Capsule → Proximal convoluted tubule → Loop of Henle → Distal convoluted tubule
This follows the filtrate through the nephron: BOWMAN’S CAPSULE — where ultrafiltration takes place, the filtrate being forced out of the glomerulus PROXIMAL convoluted tubule — most selective reabsorption occurs here: all the glucose, amino acids and much of the water and salts LOOP OF HENLE — dips into the medulla; concentrates the urine by reabsorbing water DISTAL convoluted tubule — final adjustment of salts and water, under the control of ADH; then on to the collecting duct
THE WORDS SETTLE THE ORDER: PROXIMAL means near and DISTAL means far — near to and far from the Bowman’s capsule. You need not remember the sequence if you read the names.
