The functional unit of a kidney is the the nephron. It acts as a filtering unit. The Renal Tubule is the filtration unit in Bowman's Capsule. It consists of 5 parts:
1. proximal convoluted tubule
2. descending loop of Henle
3. ascending loop of Henle
4. distal convoluted tubule
5. collecting duct.
If a fine rubber tube is placed in a cup with many tiny slits in it, this would be a working model. The tube would have an end into the cup (Bowman's capsule). This end is the descending limb of the loop of Henle. A tangle of tubing (loops of Helene) with the slits will be in the cup. The tubing will have and end coming out (ascending loop of Henle). The end coming out will allowing fluid to drain out.
Blood pressure will be the force to move the liquid.

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 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.
