Blood is filtered out of the glomerulus, a "knot" of porous capillaries, into the glomerular capsule. From there the filtrate passes though the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule where the substrate concentration of the filtrate is fine tuned. The distal convoluted tubule empties into a collecting duct but that is generally not considered part of the nephron itself.
The renal cortex contains the largest number of nephron structures in the kidney.
Vestigial structures are anatomical structures of organisms in a species which are considered to have lost much or all of their original function through evolution.
1. Understanding anatomical terminology. 2. Observation (see where body part is located and how it functions). 3. Manipulation (movement of a body part). 4. Palpation (feeling with your hands). 5. Auscultation (listening to sounds).
The organ structure rugae can be found in a number of anatomical structures in the body.
Most of the responsibility for urine formation lies with the nephron in the kidney. The nephron filters blood, reabsorbs essential substances, and excretes waste products to produce urine. However, other structures such as the collecting ducts and renal pelvis also play important roles in the final formation and concentration of urine.

Anatomical structures refer to the parts and components that make up an organism's body, such as organs, tissues, and bones. Understanding these structures helps researchers study the function and organization of living organisms.
Anatomical directional terms and bodyplanes describe the locations of structures in relation to other structures or locations in the body.
Anatomical structures are:Firstly, they are easy to observe in organisms and fossils.Secondly, fossils are the only evidence we are ever likely to have of extinct species
