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

  1. A
    Afferent arteriole : Carries the blood away from the glomerulus
  2. B
    Podocytes : Create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood
  3. C
    Henle's loop : Most reabsorption of the major substances
  4. D
    Distal convoluted tubule: Reabsorption of ions into blood

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Podocytes are specialized cells in the inner wall of Bowman's capsule. They wrap around the capillaries, leaving small gaps called filtration slits or slit pores through which blood is filtered.Afferent arteriole carries blood to the glomerulus.Most reabsorption () occurs in the PCT.
