Question

Identify the part of nephron correctly matched to its function.

Options

• Afferent arterioles: Associated with reabsorption of electrolytes.

• Podocytes: Create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into Bowman's capsule.

• Henle's loop: Both limbs are associated with absorption of water.

• Distal convoluted tubule: No role in regulation of pH of body fluids.

Answer 1

Podocytes: Create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into Bowman's capsule.

Explanation:

Blood is carried to the Glomerulus by afferent arterioles. Henle's loop: Water can only pass through the descending limb.

The pH of bodily fluids is maintained by the distal convoluted tubule.
