Excretory System

The part of the nephron where fluid is absorbed from the circulatory system is the:

• Ascending Loop of Henle
• Descending Loop of Henle
• Bowman's Capsule
• Malphigian Tubule

The tube that carries urine from the kidney into the bladder is called the:

• Ureter
• Urethra
• Proximal Tubule
• Collecting Duct

Blood flows into the kidney along the:

• Renal Venule
• Renal Artery
• Glomerulus
• Hepatic Artery

The part of the nephron that primarily reabsorbs water is:

• Ascending Loop of Henle 
• Descending Loop of Henle
• Bowman's Capsule
• Vasa Recta

The part of the nephron that primarily reabsorbs Na+ ions is:

• Ascending Loop of Henle 
• Descending Loop of Henle
• Bowman's Capsule
• Vasa Recta

The part of the nephron that would have cells loaded with aquaporins would be:

• Ascending Loop of Henle 
• Descending Loop of Henle
• Bowman's Capsule
• Vasa Recta
