Structure of Nephron

A nephron is the kidney’s functional unit, filtering blood and forming urine. It includes a glomerulus for filtration, Bowman’s capsule to collect fluid, the proximal convoluted tubule for reabsorption, the Loop of Henle for concentration, the distal convoluted tubule for further adjustment, and the collecting duct to transport urine to the renal pelvis. Each part helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance.
