Calyx, nephron, collecting duct, urinary bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, urethra
Nephron, collecting duct, calyx, renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
Nephron, renal pelvis, collecting duct, calyx, urinary bladder, urethra, ureter
Collecting duct, nephron, renal pelvis, calyx, urinary bladder, ureter, urethra
The Correct Answer is B
A. Calyx, nephron, collecting duct, urinary bladder, renal pelvis, ureter, urethra: Sequence is wrong -filtrate is formed in nephron, flows into collecting duct, then into calyx → renal pelvis → ureter → bladder → urethra.
B. Nephron, collecting duct, calyx, renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra: Urine forms in nephron → drains into collecting duct → minor/major calyces → renal pelvis → ureter → urinary bladder → urethra for elimination.
C. Nephron, renal pelvis, collecting duct, calyx, urinary bladder, urethra, ureter: Renal pelvis and calyx order is swapped relative to collecting duct; ureter/bladder order is wrong.
D. Collecting duct, nephron, renal pelvis, calyx, urinary bladder, ureter, urethra: Collecting duct follows the nephron (not precedes it); calyx and pelvis ordering is
