Each Nephron of the Kidney Consists of a Long Tubule

question 36

Multiple Choice

Each nephron of the kidney consists of a long tubule and associated small blood vessels.Blood cells and plasma proteins are too large to enter with the glomerular filtrate.What is the correct path for the filtrate to follow through the nephron in the production of urine?

• A)Bowman's capsule → distal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → proximal convoluted tubule → collecting duct
• B)Bowman's capsule → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → distal convoluted tubule → collecting duct
• C)Bowman's capsule → loop of Henle → proximal convoluted tubule → distal convoluted tubule → collecting duct
• D)Bowman's capsule → collecting duct → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → distal convoluted tubule
• E)collecting duct → proximal convoluted tubule → loop of Henle → distal convoluted tubule→ Bowman's capsule

A measure of the average of the squares of the errors or deviations, that is, the difference between the estimator and what is estimated.

Tracking Signal

A statistical measure used in quality control and forecasting to detect bias in the forecast error over time.

Simple Moving Average

A mathematical method used in finance and economics to calculate the average of a selected range of prices or quantities over a specific period of time.

Exponential Smoothing

Exponential smoothing is a forecasting technique that applies decreasing weights to past observations, with more recent data given more significance.
