//Multiple Choice

Which part of the nephron is responsible for filtering blood? {
    ~Collecting duct
    ~Loop of Henle
    =Glomerulus
    ~Distal convoluted tubule
}

What is the primary function of the Loop of Henle? {
    ~Filtration of blood
    =Reabsorption of water and salts
    ~Collection of urine
    ~Regulation of blood pressure
}

The Bowman’s capsule surrounds which structure in the nephron? {
    ~Loop of Henle
    =Glomerulus
    ~Proximal convoluted tubule
    ~Collecting duct
}

The collecting duct in a nephron mainly functions to\: {
    ~Filter blood
    =Transport urine to the ureter
    ~Reabsorb nutrients
    ~Produce hormones
}

Which part of the nephron is primarily involved in selective reabsorption? {
    ~Bowman’s capsule
    =Proximal convoluted tubule
    ~Distal convoluted tubule
    ~Collecting duct
}

//True or False

The glomerulus is a network of capillaries within the Bowman’s capsule. {T}

The Loop of Henle is responsible for filtration of blood. {F}

The distal convoluted tubule reabsorbs nutrients like glucose and amino acids. {F}

The collecting duct plays a role in water reabsorption and transports urine to the ureter. {T}

The different arteriole carries blood into the glomerulus. {F}

//Fill in the blanks

The Bowman’s capsule is responsible for enclosing the __________. {
    ~Loop of Henle
    =Glomerulus
    ~Distal tubule
}

The part of the nephron that plays a significant role in water conservation is the __________. {
    =Loop of Henle
    ~Collecting duct
    ~Proximal tubule
}

Urine is transported to the renal pelvis through the __________. {
    ~Loop of Henle
    =Collecting duct
    ~Proximal tubule
}

The __________ tubule is located between the Loop of Henle and the collecting duct. {
    ~Proximal convoluted
    =Distal convoluted
    ~Renal
}

Blood enters the glomerulus through the __________ arteriole. {
    ~Efferent
    =Afferent
    ~Renal
}

//Match the following

Match the following items from Column A with their correct corresponding options from Column B\:
{
=Glomerulus -> Filters blood
=Bowman’s Capsule -> Surrounds the glomerulus
=Loop of Henle -> Reabsorbs water and salts
=Proximal Convoluted Tubule -> Reabsorbs nutrients like glucose
=Collecting Duct -> Transports urine to the renal pelvis
}
