The filtrate that contains water, glucose, ions, urea, and amino acids travel down through the 'U' shaped part in the nephron labeled Letter G. Name the part.

• Renal Artery

• Renal Vein

• Loop of Henle

• Proximal Convoluted Tubule

Letter D shows the part where the collecting ducts of nephrons release the drops of urine before urine flows out of the kidney through ureters. Identify letter 'D'.

• Adrenal Gland

• Renal Artery

• Renal Vein

• Renal Pelvis

Letter I shows the part where secretion of ions, drugs, and toxins are added to the filtrate. Name the part labeled "I"

• Distal Convoluted Tubule

• Collecting Duct

• Peritubular Capillaries

• Proximal Convoluted Tubule

Nearly one million nephrons present in the kidneys are located in this part labeled Letter G. Name the part.

• Ureter

• Renal Capsule

• Renal Coretx
