Question
Match each part of a
nephron with its function. 1 Glomerulus 2 Distal tubule Bowman's
capsule frenal corpuscle) 3 Permeability controlled by hormones: can
absorb additional sodium and water 5 Proximal convoluted tubule Match
each of the options above to the items below. Receives filtrate from the
glomerulus. Permeability controlled by hormones; can absorb additional
sodium and water. 1 Increases osmolarity of medulla; absorbs water.
Absorbs 80% of filtrate, including water, glucose, and amino acids

Absorbs 80% of filtrate, including water, glucose, and amino acids.
Filtration of plasma
Expert Answer
Step 1/1
Nephron are present in the kidney. Each kidney has nearly one million nephron. Nephron is the functional unit of kidney. Nephron has two parts - 1- glomerulus 2- renal tubule.
Glomerulus along with the bowman's capsule called the renal corpuscle or malpighian body.
Proximal convoluted tubule and distal convoluted tubule are the part of the renal tubule.
All the given function are seen in the process of urine formation.
In the process of urine formation, glomerular filtration, reabsorption and secretion are the main process. In the urine formation nephron and its all part works.
Note that nephron part 3 and function option 2 statement are same. Please inform this mistake to your teacher first.
Nephron part with their function are given below-
1-Glomerulus - filtration of plasma ( the filtration of blood and plasma under the process of glomerular filtration are done).
2-Distal tubule - Permeability controlled by hormones, absorb additional sodium and water.
3- Collecting duct- increases osmolarity of medulla, absorbs water ( note medulla osmolarity process done in the segment of the collecting duct that's why i can write collecting duct)
4- Bowman's capsule or renal corpuscle - receives filtrate from the glomerulus.
5- Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)- absorbs 80% of filtrate, including water, glucose and amino acids.
PCT also maintain the ionic balance and pH of the body fluids.70-80% filtrate and water reabsorbed by this tubule or segment.
Final answer
See the explanation section of the solve matching. Please mention this 3 statement repeat in the function and nephron part name. I can match this statement with the correct nephron part. I hope this answer will hwlp you.
