The correct terms are "Bowman's capsule" and "proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)," followed by "loop of Henle," "distal convoluted tubule (DCT)," "collecting duct," and "peritubular capillary." Bowman's capsule is the initial part of the nephron that surrounds the glomerulus, and the PCT is the first segment of the nephron tubule. Each of these structures plays a crucial role in the filtration and reabsorption processes in the kidney.
