Nephron Segment Transport Function A. Ascending Limb of Loop of Henle 1. Passive reabsorption of water B. Descending Limb of Loop of Henle 2. Active transport of ions C. Proximal Convoluted Tubule 3. Reabsorption of glucose and amino acids D. Collecting Duct 4. Final water reabsorption
Options
- AA-1; B-4; C-3; D-2
- BA-3; B-2; C-1; D-4
- CA-2; B-1; C-3; D-4
- DA-4; B-3; C-2; D-1
Correct answer
C. A-2; B-1; C-3; D-4
Step-by-step solution
The ascending limb of the Loop of Henle is involved in the active transport of ions. The descending limb is where passive reabsorption of water occurs. The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs glucose and amino acids. The collecting duct is responsible for final water reabsorption.
