Question

the diagram below represents a certain portion of a nephron. identify parts: c d f name the process that takes place at: a b where in the human body would you find the above st

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

C is the Bowman's capsule which surrounds the glomerulus. D is the afferent arteriole that brings blood to the glomerulus. F is the efferent arteriole that takes blood away from the glomerulus. At A (glomerulus - Bowman's capsule interface), the process is ultra - filtration where blood is filtered under high pressure. Since part B is not labeled, assuming you meant the next part of the nephron, re - absorption takes place there where useful substances are taken back into the blood. Nephrons are found in the kidneys.

Answer:

C: Bowman's capsule
D: Afferent arteriole
F: Efferent arteriole
A: Ultra - filtration
B: Re - absorption (assuming next part of nephron)
