2.70- Nephron Structure

Describe the structure of a nephron, to include Bowman’s capsule and glomerulus, convoluted tubules, loop of Henlé and collecting duct

Nephron-  The functioning part of the kidney, it does the filtration and the controlling of the composition of the blood.
Bowman's capsule- The dead end to the Nephron
Proximal Convoluted tubule- The first twisted section
Distal Convoluted tubule- The second twisted section
Glomerulus- Filters the blood and is surrounded by the Bowman's capsule
Loop of Henlé- Leads the Proximal tubule to the distal tubule
There are millions of Nephrons in the kidney.
