Final answer:

The order is Bowman's capsule, glomerulus, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting ducts, urethra.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which filtrate/urine passes through them, beginning at the glomerulus and ending at the urethra, is as follows:

  1. Bowman's (glomerular) capsule
  2. Glomerulus
  3. Proximal convoluted tubule
  4. Loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs)
  5. Distal convoluted tubule
  6. Collecting ducts
  7. Urethra

This sequence is part of the process of urine formation in the nephrons of the kidney. The filtrate is initially formed in the glomerulus and then undergoes reabsorption and secretion as it passes through the different parts of the renal tubule. Finally, the urine is collected in the collecting ducts and transported to the urethra for elimination.
