D. proximal convoluted tubule

E. glomerulus

Each structure may be used once, more than once or not at all!

Answer 1

Collecting duct- passes urine into renal pelvis

Loop of Henle- extends into medulla for juxtamedullary nephrons

Glomerular (Bowman's)Capsule- contains podocytes

Proximal Covoluted Tubule- absorbs Na+

Glomerulus- contains brush border
