Which section of the nephron is after the ascending limb of the loop of Henle?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Distal convoluted tubule follows the ascending limb, not descending (before), PCT (earlier), or collecting duct (later). This sequences nephron flow, critical for reabsorption, contrasting with misordering.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Nephrons filter/form urine, not hilum (entry), neurons (nerve), or medulla (region). This defines functional unit, key for renal physiology, contrasting with structural terms.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Nephron performs filtration, reabsorption, secretion not neuron (nerve), alveoli (lung), or none. This defines nephron function, critical for urine formation, contrasting with other units.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Juxtamedullary nephrons' long loops extend into medulla, not cortex, pyramid (part), or all. This locates concentration site, critical for osmolarity, contrasting with cortical nephrons.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Peritubular capillaries absorb from tubule cells (all segments), not just collecting duct, PCT, or DCT. This generalizes reabsorption, critical for solute return, contrasting with specific segments.
