Where are all the proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the kidney located?
If you are talking about the proximal/distal convoluted tubules. Then you are talking about a kidney, and in between them is the nephron loop or the Loop of Henle
What is the nephron the basic unit of?
kidney
Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The structure that filters the blood in the kidneys is the nephron, or more specifically the glomerulus.
Whatr is a nephron?
== == A nephron is where filtration of blood will occur and it is also the million miscroscopic devices inside the kidney
What is nephron and parts of nephron?
The nephron is the basic and functional unit of the Kidney. It is also know as the urinary tubule. There are more than a million nephrons in a normal kidney.

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.
Where does most absorption take place in the kidney?
the majority occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule
Where does glucose reabsorption occur in the nephron?
Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.
What is the function of bowman capsule?
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.
What is the microscopic anatomical unit of excretion found in the kidney?
Nephron
What is the functional portion or parenchyma of the kidney?
That would be the nephron.
Is a nephron a molecule?
A Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It's not a molecule, more likely a small portion of the kidney that helps the kidney work.
what kidney cells perform a secretary function?
Nephrons are the basic unit of the kidney that produce urine. Their processes involve filtration, reabsorption and secretion in different places. The main part of the nephron that is involved with secretion is the Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT). There is very little secretion in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT). Usually when you refer to secretion in the nephron, it will be in the DCT.
What is the smallest unit of kidney?
Nephron
What is smallest unit of kidney?
Nephron
Which is the functional unit of a kidney?
nephron.
