Sites of filtration in nephron are:
Correct answer: A. Glomerulus and Bowman's Capsule
- A. Glomerulus and Bowman's Capsule
- B. Proximal and distal end
- C. Ascending and descending arm
- D. Loop of henle
Explanation
The Glomerulus and Bowman's capsule are sited of filtration in the nephron while ascending/descending loop of Henle carries out reabsorption of water and salts.

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
