Understand that a nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney, responsible for filtering blood and forming urine.
Recognize that the nephron is composed of two main parts: the glomerulus and the renal tubule.
The glomerulus is a network of capillaries where blood filtration begins. It is located within the Bowman's capsule.
The renal tubule is a long, coiled tube that processes the filtrate from the glomerulus. It includes the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
By identifying these components, you can understand how the nephron functions in filtering blood, reabsorbing necessary substances, and excreting waste as urine.
