Solution

The correct answer is renal tubule.

Explanation

The filtrate, once in the glomerular capsule (also called Bowman's capsule), progresses to the renal tubule. The renal tubule is part of the nephron and consists of several segments where further processing of the filtrate occurs, including reabsorption and secretion.

Here's a summary of the pathway:

  1. Glomerular Capsule: Filtrate encapsulated here.
  2. Renal Tubule: The next structure where the filtrate moves to undergoes further transformation.

In contrast:

  • Minor Calyx and Renal Pelvis are parts of the collecting system that collect urine after it has been processed.
  • Ureter is the duct that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

Thus, the appropriate answer to the question is renal tubule.
