Answer 1

Explanation:

The nephron of the kidney is involved in the regulation of water and soluble substances in blood.

• The glomerulus is the site in the nephron where fluid and solutes are filtered out of the blood to form a glomerular filtrate.
• The proximal and distal tubules, the loop of Henle, and the collecting ducts are sites for the reabsorption of water and ions.
• All of the glucose in the blood is reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule through ion cotransport.
• The loop of Henle (sometimes known as the nephron loop) is a U-shaped tube that consists of a descending limb and ascending limb, which differ in permeability.
• The collecting duct and distal convoluted tubule are normally impermeable to water, but this is altered due to hormone stimulus during homeostasis.
