The Filtrate in the Renal Pelvis Enters Directly From

Question

The filtrate in the renal pelvis enters directly from
A) the loop of Henle.
B) the collecting duct.
C) Bowman's capsule.
D) the proximal tubule.
E) the glomerulus.

Accepted Answer

The filtrate in the renal pelvis enters directly from the collecting duct. The collecting duct receives urine from multiple nephrons and carries it to the renal pelvis. The other options (loop of Henle, Bowman's capsule, proximal tubule, and glomerulus) are all parts of the nephron where the process of urine production occurs but are not directly connected to the renal pelvis.
