The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Components**: The question lists four components: proximal convoluted tubule, distal convoluted tubule, Henle's loop, and renal corpuscle. These are all parts of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. 2. **Understand the Structure of the Nephron**: The nephron is divided into two main parts: - **Renal Corpuscle**: This is where the filtration of blood occurs. - **Renal Tubular Part**: This is where reabsorption and secretion processes take place. 3. **Detail the Renal Corpuscle**: The renal corpuscle consists of: - **Glomerulus**: A tuft of capillaries where filtration occurs. - **Bowman’s Capsule**: A capsule-like structure that encloses the glomerulus. 4. **Explore the Renal Tubular Part**: The renal tubular part is divided into three main sections: - **Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT)**: This is where the reabsorption of essential minerals and nutrients occurs. It can be further divided into: - Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) - Proximal Straight Tubule - **Henle's Loop**: This section is responsible for the reabsorption of water, which helps concentrate the urine. - **Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)**: This is also divided into: - Distal Convoluted Tubule - Distal Straight Tubule - This part is involved in the reabsorption and secretion of ions such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. 5. **Summarize the Functions**: - **Renal Corpuscle**: Filtration of blood. - **Proximal Convoluted Tubule**: Reabsorption of nutrients and minerals. - **Henle's Loop**: Concentration of urine through water reabsorption. - **Distal Convoluted Tubule**: Reabsorption and secretion of various ions.
