:
A
The following is the order of flow of fluid:
- Bowman's Corpuscle - The nephron begins as a blind, cup-like pocket called Bowman's capsule. The capsule envelopes a bundle of capillaries called the glomerulus. Bowman's capsule and glomerulus make up the renalcorpuscle.
- Proximal convoluted tubule - is the longest and widest segment of the nephron.
- Loop of Henle - The cells of the descending limb of the loop are simple squamous and give this region of the tubule a narrow diameter.
- Distal convoluted tubule - Following the loop, the nephron continues as the distal tubule.
- Collecting duct -Collecting duct is a long, straight tube where the maximum reabsorption of water takes place to produce concentrated urine.
