Answer 2

Glomerulus (Bowman’s capsule) - Proximal convoluted tube - Loop of Henle - Distal tube - Collecting Duct - Urethra

Question 3

Function of the convoluted tube

Answer 3

Reabsorption site of ions and adjusts filtrate pH

Question 4

Function of Loop of Henle

Answer 4

Reabsorbs Na+ and Cl- from the filtrate and the aquaporins allows water to pass through

Question 5

Function of distal tubule

Answer 5

Secretes and absorbs ions to maintain the balance of blood pH and electrolyte

Question 6

Function of the collecting duct

Answer 6

Reabsorbs solute and water

Question 7

Answer 7

1. Proteinuria (kekurangan protein di urine yang menyebabkan pembengkakan)
2. Hematuria (darah di urine yang disebabkan filtrasi yang kurang)
3. Hipertensi (darah tinggi)
