Chapter 25, Problem 2TYR
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The structural and functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. A nephron consists of two principal parts: a renal corpuscle consists of glomerulus and bowman capsule, which filters the blood plasma, and a long renal tubule, which converts the filtrate to urine. It consists of four major regions: the proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
