The part of the nephron whose epithelial cells contain the longest microvilli and the most mitochondria is the (a) glomerular capsule (podocytes), (b) proximal tubule, (c) thin segment, (d) distal tubule.
The only part of the nephron that originates from the embryonic ureteric bud is the (a) glomerular capsule, (b) proximal convoluted tubule, (c) nephron loop, (d) distal convoluted tubule, (e) collecting duct.
The primary purpose of the collecting system is to (a) transport urine from the bladder to the urethra. (b) selectively reabsorb sodium ions from tubular fluid. (c) transport urine from the renal pelvis to the ureters. (d) make final adjustments to the osmotic concentration and volume of urine.
