Nephrons are tiny structures that remove wastes from blood and produce urine. The nephrons filter wastes tn stages. First, both wastes and needed material such as glucose, are filtered out of the blood. Then, much of the needed material is returned to the blood, and the wastes are eliminated from the body.
a nephron works really good all right!!
er nice
a nephron is the basic functional and histological unit of the kidney, its composed of a renal corpuscle (bowmans capsule and glomerulus) proximal convuluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule. (in that order)
the DCT emptied into a collecting duct which carries urine from the cortex of the kidney toward the renal papilla.
the glomerulus is very permeable, it looks like a ball of yarn, and solutes are filtered across its wall into the bowmans capsule, which in turn drains to the PCT.
the bowmans walls are made of simple squamous tissue, very permable. It has window like openings called fenestrae, and also filtration slits.
at the PCT Na and others are removed by active transport, water passively filters. Filtrate volume is reduced.
at the DCT water exits, solutes enter
at the ascening LOH Na, Cl and K are transported out of the filtrate but water remains as its walls are impermeable to water.
The nephron capsule filters urea, water, glucose, and salts from the capillary, and sends them through the tubule. The tubule re absorbs water and glucose back into the blood, and carries what is left over (urine, a mixture of urea, water, and salts) to the ureter.
The nephron is the basic unit of the kidney - used to filter wastes from the bloodstream (especially nitrogen groups, in the form of urea, which have been cleaved from amino acids).
the process in which the nephrons help the kidneys through a 2 staged process for urine to be passed through the Urethra.

list the parts of the nephron and describe the function of each part
the cortical nephron is another type of nephron which has shorter loop of henle extended in medulla region. it has no proper function but it works like as ultra filtration etc as juxta medullary nephron perform but juxta medullary has proper function.

The most distal portion of the nephron is the

The nephron is a functional unit of the kidney which filters the blood and maintains the body's internal homeostasis.

Yes
nephron, each kidney has atleast 1 million
Hydrogen ion excretion is the result of standard kidney (nephron) function, when processing fluids in the body. This is done at the bottom of the kidneys.
It's something to do with the uterus... (I'm stumped)
The Bowman's Capsule is part of a Nephron, which would be found in the Kidney. It's function is to collect the filtrate from the Glomerulus, passing it on to the Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT's); subsequently, to the rest of the Nephron.
