a. glomerulus d. Bowman capsule
b. vasa recta e. Both a and b are correct.
c. distal convoluted tubule

Expert Solution
Step 1

Blood: It is connective tissue; it is present in the form of body fluid. It is composed of plasma, erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets. The cells are suspended in the plasma.

Step 2

The blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. The plasma is a yellow fluid that carries cells and proteins through the circulatory system. It is composed of water, lipids, salts, immunoglobulins, clotting factors, and proteins.

The blood is passed through the glomerulus in the kidney, where it gets filtered, and only a part of it is carried through the nephrons, excluding the cells and proteins.

Vasa recta is a blood vessel through which blood flows.

Hence, option 'e' is the correct answer.
