Identify the main functions of the nephron in the kidney, which include filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion.
Understand that capsular filtration refers to the process where blood plasma is filtered through the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule.
Recognize that tubular secretion involves the transfer of materials from the blood into the tubular fluid, which is part of the nephron's function.
Acknowledge that selective reabsorption is the process by which useful substances are reabsorbed from the filtrate back into the blood.
Note that cellular respiration and blood cell formation are not processes that occur in the nephron. Cellular respiration occurs in cells to produce energy, and blood cell formation (hematopoiesis) occurs in the bone marrow, not in the kidney.
