nephron consists of a cluster of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a renal tubule. now the renal tubule is swollen at one end and forms Bowman's capsule. the glomerulus surrounds this capsule and they together are called renal corpuscle.
so the nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. and the renal tubule is convoluted at first (also covered by blood capillaries) , then forms a U shape called "loop of henle" .then it ends into the collecting duct.

The triangular shaped areas of the renal medulla are the what?
Renal Pyramids - The renal medulla consists of 6 to 18 distinct conical or triangular structures called renal pyramids.
What is the function of the nephrons in the excretory process?
The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, responsible for the actual purification and filtration of the blood. About five thousand nephrons are in each kidney, and each one consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule which carry out the functions of the nephron. The renal tubule consists of the convoluted tubule and the loop of Heinle.
What are nephrons made up of?
Each one consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule which carry out the functions of the nephron. The renal tubule consists of the convoluted tubule and the loop of Heinle http://coe.fgcu.edu/Faculty/GreeneP/kidney/nephron.html.
