A) renal corpuscle
B) proximal convoluted tubule
C) distal convoluted tubule

E) collecting duct
Glomerular Filtrate
The fluid that passes from the blood through the capillary walls of the glomeruli of the kidney during the formation of urine.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
A portion of the nephron in the kidney where significant amounts of reabsorption and secretion occur, playing a critical role in the regulation of body fluid composition.
Amino Acids
Organic compounds that combine to form proteins, serving as the building blocks of life with various functions in metabolism.
