Filtration Occurs In

Question

Filtration occurs in
A) the renal corpuscle
B) the loop of Henle
C) the collecting duct

Accepted Answer

Filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle, specifically in the glomerulus. This is the first step in urine formation in the kidney. The loop of Henle and collecting duct are involved in reabsorption and secretion of various substances, but not filtration. Therefore, D is not correct and B and C are not the best choices.
