Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the structure and function of a nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and forming urine.
Identify the two main components of a nephron: the glomerulus and the renal tubule.
The glomerulus is a network of capillaries where blood filtration begins. It is surrounded by Bowman's capsule, which collects the filtrate.
The renal tubule is a series of tubules that process the filtrate into urine. It includes the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
Recognize that the glomerulus and renal tubule work together to filter blood, reabsorb necessary substances, and excrete waste products as urine.
