Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Located in pyramids of medulla (triangular sections of the kidney). Nephron contains renal corpuscles (Glomerular capusule aka: Bowmans Capsule) which contain renal tubules (Glomerulus-filtrates blood as is flows through kidney, afferent/efferent). Waste by way of loop of Henle (exits capsule), go to collecting ducts.

Kidney-renal corpuscles-afferent arteriole-bowmans capsule-glomerulus-efferent arteriole-proximal convoluted tubule-descending loop of henle-thin segment-acscending loop of henle-distal convoluted tubule-collecting ducts-major calyces-renal pelvis-uretER-urinary bladder-urethra (female 4cm long- con't from urethra-out) (male 20cm long-urethra made up of three parts-con't from urethra-prostatic urethra-membranous urethra-penile urethra-out)

I believe that is correct. What confused me is the afferent/efferent/tubules. They are three separate passage ways. Aff/Eff is for blood. Afferent is where blood enters-waste goes to capsule-waste leaves capsule by 1st entering proximal tubule of loop of henle-blood that was "not" waste goes back to the body by way of efferent. Notice the difference in female and male.

What is the correct order of the nephron in order of fluid flow?

The correct order of the nephron in order of fluid flow is: Bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.


What is the correct order of the parts through which urine flows in a nephron?

Out. if your year two... order is, well nephron is where most of the absorbption occurs so I will include this in my answer, skip this paragraph if you dont need to know... The blood is filtred across the glomerulus cappilaries into the bowmans capsule accoring to size (<7nm) so it is a relatively crude means by which the original filtrate is formed. But rest assured, you wont waste those Calcium, or P04, electroylye ions because they are mostly reabsorbed at the first part of the nephron- the PCT or promixal convoluted tubule thsi is due to the tissue here - simple cuboidal epithelium. Next is the LOH loop henle. Tissue changes to simple squamous and water is reabsorbed. Next tissue changes back at the DCT distal convoluted tubule and Na Water baalnce, acid base balance and here any anything that needs doing eg. regulating blood pressure can occur. After this the filtrate flows into the collecting tubules, minor calyce, major calyce, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, urethra then finally urethra orifice. CM

Will chalkdust be separated by filtration?

Chalkdust is a very fine particulate that can pass through many different types of barriers. In order to properly filtrate Chalkdust out of the air specific filters need to be used that are capable of trapping the fine material - while still allowing air to pass through.

How does the nephron function?

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.
