Which one of the following correctly explains the function of a specific part of a human nephron?

Options

  1. AHenle's loop - most reabsoroption of the major substances from the glomerular filtrate
  2. BDistal convoluted reabsorption of ions into tubule the surronding blood capillaries
  3. CAfferent arteriole carries the blood away from the glomerulus towards renal vein
  4. DPodocytes - create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman's capsule
