What is the portion of the nephron that dips into the medulla?
The Nephron loop, or also called the loop of Henle.
What is the length of a single human nephron?
The average length of a single human nephron is approximately 30-35 mm.
In nephron what is the fluid that precedes urine?
The fluid that precedes urine in the nephron is called tubular fluid.
What is the terminal part of the nephron?
Papillary duct or DCT The thing in this question that stands out to me is "part of the nephron". Actually the parts of a nephron only include renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tuble, nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule. I would a say the answer, if you read it the way I am taking it, is DCT. The papillary duct does follow the DCT but is not part of the nephron.
Which part of the kidney filters blood?

Describe the stages of how filtration occur in the nephron?
In the glomerulus. Note this is not filtration of urine, it is the filtration of blood leading to the production of urine as a waste product.
Which term best describe the specific filtration structure of the urinary system?

What is the functional portion or parenchyma of the kidney?

What is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting duct?
The distal convoluted tubule is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting ducts. It is the last segment of the nephron.
What is the structural unit of the kidney?
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
