Question

This is a Human Anatomy and Physiology II question, and it does require some extensive knowledge. It is about nephrons in the kidneys and the structures and things like that for the most part. Blanks may contain and probably will more than one answer, and all letters must be used. I only say that because I have posted questions like this before, and experts have only put a letter per blank and just ignored the rest, so please read carefully. Someone please help!!!! Thank You!!!!

Match the nephron structure with its function. (letters may be used more than once, all letters will be used, and blanks may contain more than one letter)

_______- ascending limb

_______- Bowman’s capsule

_______- collecting duct

_______- Distal Convoluted Tubule   

_______- descending limb

_______- glomerulus

_______- Proximal Convoluted Tubule

a.   completely within the cortex

b.   first structure to receive filtrate

c.   fist of capillaries

d.   leakytube that greatly reduces filtrate volume by removing water and solutes leaving low level of concentrated filtrate

e.   partially in the cortex and the medulla

f.    specializes in absorption of solutes and water (especially glucose)

g.   specializes in secretion especially for homeostasis

h.   water proof tube that removes solutes leaving dilute fluid

i.    water reabsorption controlled by ADH
