Trace the pathway of filtrate as it flows through the renal tubule starting with the proximal tubule and ending with arrival at the collecting duct

What will be an ideal response?


From the proximal tubule, filtrate will travel through the nephron loop (loop of Henle). Filtrate travels down the thin descending limb of the nephron loop and then back up through the thin and thick ascending limb. Filtrate travels through the distal tubule before arriving at the collecting duct.
