What are the two main parts of a nephron?
it consistsof two parts the renal corpusle and the renal tubule. The question I gave my students was What are the two main parts of a nephron and that was the answer
A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
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.
What is the part of the renal tubule function is filtration of blood?
renal cortex
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
