Refer the given figure of nephron.
Identify A, B, C, and D and select the correct option regarding them.
1. | A - Glomerulus - a tuft of capillaries formed by afferent arteriole. |
2. | B - PCT- reabsorption of \(HCO^-_3\) and selective secretion of H+ and K+ occurs here. |
3. | C - DCT- almost all glucose, amino acids, water, Na+, K+, and uric acid are absorbed here. |
4. | D - collecting duct - extends from the cortex of the kidney to the inner parts of the medulla; a large amount of water is secreted in this region. |
