Question

Which sequence demonstrates the correct order of the structures of a mammalian nephron from blood to ureter?

a. Proximal convoluted tubule; Bowman's capsule; loop of Henle; distal convoluted tubule
b. Bowman's capsule; loop of Henle; distal convoluted tubule; proximal convoluted tubule
c. Bowman's capsule; proximal convoluted tubule; loop of Henle; distal convoluted tubule
d. Distal convoluted tubule; loop of Henle; Proximal convoluted tubule; Bowman's capsule

Answer 1

The correct order of the structures of a mammalian nephron is Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting ducts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of the structures of a mammalian nephron from blood to ureter is:

1. Bowman's capsule
2. Proximal convoluted tubule
3. Loop of Henle
4. Distal convoluted tubule
5. Collecting ducts

This means that option c, 'Bowman's capsule; proximal convoluted tubule; loop of Henle; distal convoluted tubule,' is the correct sequence.
