Question
Given is a jumbled list of the parts of a certain body structure - Loop of Henle, Bowman’s capsule, distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, proximal convoluted tubule.
- Name the structure to which the listed parts belong.
- Rearrange the parts in their proper sequence from the starting point to where they end.

Solution
- The listed parts belong to the structure known as a nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney.
- Glomerulus → Bowman’s capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → Loop of Henle → Distal convoluted tubule.
