Question

How does filtrate flow through the kidney? Order the flow of filtrate from glomerulus to toilet (urine). Follow the picture and trace the flow. — urinary bladder — collecting duct — minor calyx — nephron loop (loop of Henle) — descending limb — ascending limb — distal convoluted tubule — renal pelvis — ureter — urethra — proximal convoluted tubule — papillary duct — major calyx — glomerulus

Step 1

Filtrate is initially formed in the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries located in the renal corpuscle of the nephron. Show more…

How does filtrate flow through the kidney? Follow the picture and trace the flow: urinary bladder, collecting duct, minor calyx, nephron loop (loop of Henle) - descending limb - ascending limb, distal convoluted tubule, renal pelvis, ureter, urethra, proximal convoluted tubule, papillary duct, major calyx, glomerulus.
