What are nephrons made up of?
Each one consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule which carry out the functions of the nephron. The renal tubule consists of the convoluted tubule and the loop of Heinle http://coe.fgcu.edu/Faculty/GreeneP/kidney/nephron.html.
The glomerulus is located within the?
glomerulus is the clusture of cappillaries it is present along with cupshaped capsule called bowman's capsule or it is collectively called renal corpuscle
Where is the nephron loop located?
Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion
What is the definition of nephron?
The structural and functional unit of the kidney.
Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.
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
Which part of excretory system is nephron located?
in side the kidney
The functional units of the kidneys are called?
The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. Each kidney is made up of 1.25 million nephrons. A doctor specializing in kidneys is a nephrologist.
Each of the thousands of functional units that make up a kidney is called a?
It is known as the nephron.

Where is the Loop of Henle located?
The Loop of Henle is situated in the Kidney. It is a part of the nephron.
Where is the nephron loop located?
Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion
What is the microscopic anatomical unit of excretion found in the kidney?
Nephron
What is the basic filtrations units of the kidney?
Actually ,it would be a disease stopping it from functioning.The basic unit of the filteration would be that the kidney cleans out your blood system.the kidney makes the blood flow.Without the kidney you would most likey die unless someone gives you one. I think the answer you are looking for is the nephron. The nephron is the basic funtioning unit of the kidney.
What is the functional portion or parenchyma of the kidney?
That would be the nephron.
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.
