Which one of the following is a correct pair showing the function of a specific part of the human nephron?

Options

A. Podocyten: create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman's capsule
B. Henle's loop : most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate
C. Distal convoluted tubule: reabsorption of `K^(+)` ions into the surrounding blood capillaries
D. Afferent arteriole: carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards renal vein

Answer

A

Explanation

Most reabsorption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate takes place in procimal convoluted tubule. In DCT, selective secretion of `H^(+)` and `K^(+)` occur to maintain pH and Na-K balance in blood. Afferent arteriole carries the blood towards the glomerulus.
