∙ 14y agonephrons are the functional unit of our kidneys. their major fuctions are filltration of impure blood in the malphigian corpuscle , then reabsorption of water,sodium in the proximal convuluted tubule and the loop of henle and formation and excretion of various harmful metabolic substances like para amino hippuric acid,para amino benzoic acid.it also plays crucial role in the maitainance of body osmolarity especially sodium concentration in blood by the juxataglomerular apparatus present in it.facultative water absorption is exhibited by distal convuluted tubule in times of water deficiency.

What are the parts of a nephron and their function?
list the parts of the nephron and describe the function of each part
What is cortical nephrons?
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.
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
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 pumps sodium ions in order to reabsorb water?
The loop Henle, part of the function unit in the kidnay called the Nephron

What microscopic part of the kidney accomplishes its function?
nephron, each kidney has atleast 1 million
How do nephrons in the kidney get damaged?
If your blood pressure is too high, as in the case of someone with hypertension, the glomerulus of the nephron can burst rendering that nephron useless. Without a glomerulus, the nephron cannot achieve pressure filtration, which is one of the main functions of the kidney.
