What is the correct order an excreted water molecule moves from glomerulus to collecting duct?
A) loop of nephron → glomerular capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → distal convoluted tubule
B) glomerular capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of nephron → distal convoluted tubule
C) glomerular capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → distal convoluted tubule → loop of nephron
D) proximal convoluted tubule → glomerular capsule → loop of nephron → distal convoluted tubule
E) distal convoluted tubule → glomerular capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of nephron
Glomerulus
A network of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney, where blood filtration takes place.
Collecting Duct
Duct within the kidney that receives fluid from several nephrons; the reabsorption of water occurs here.
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
Portion of a nephron following the glomerular capsule where tubular reabsorption of filtrate occurs.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The correct order of excreted water molecule movement is from the glomerular capsule to the proximal convoluted tubule, then to the loop of nephron, and finally to the distal convoluted tubule. Therefore, the correct sequence is: glomerular capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of nephron → distal convoluted tubule. The option B is the only one that follows this sequence.
