Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urine formation in the nephron starts with the proximal convoluted tubule (E) where filtrate from the glomerulus is processed. Then it goes through the nephron loop (B), followed by the distal convoluted tubule (D). The urine is then collected in the collecting duct (C) and finally emptied into the capsular space of the glomerulus (A). Therefore, the correct order is A, E, B, D, C. The only choice that follows this order is option E.
