The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the anatomical structure that the Loop of Henle is part of. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - (a) Uriniferous tubule - (b) Seminiferous tubule - (c) Neuron - (d) Muscle fibres 3. **Defining the Loop of Henle**: The Loop of Henle is a U-shaped part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. It plays a crucial role in the concentration of urine. 4. **Identifying the Nephron Structure**: The nephron consists of several parts: - Renal corpuscle (which includes Bowman's capsule and glomerulus) - Proximal convoluted tubule - Loop of Henle - Distal convoluted tubule - Collecting duct 5. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (a) Uriniferous tubule**: This is correct because the Loop of Henle is part of the nephron, which is also referred to as the uriniferous tubule. - **Option (b) Seminiferous tubule**: This is incorrect; seminiferous tubules are involved in sperm production in the testes. - **Option (c) Neuron**: This is incorrect; neurons are nerve cells and not related to the urinary system. - **Option (d) Muscle fibres**: This is incorrect; muscle fibers are involved in muscle contraction and are not related to the urinary system. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is (a) Uriniferous tubule. ### Final Answer The Loop of Henle is part of (a) Uriniferous tubule. ---
