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.

Which area of the kidney contains the greatest amount of nephron structures?
The renal cortex contains the largest number of nephron structures in the kidney.
What is vestigal structure?
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.
What are 5 important tools for studying anatomy?
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).
Which organ structure rugae is?
The organ structure rugae can be found in a number of anatomical structures in the body.
Is the entire responsibility for urine formation lies with the nephron?
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.

What does anatomical structures mean in a scientific term?
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.
What is the anatomical term for bones?
Anatomical directional terms and bodyplanes describe the locations of structures in relation to other structures or locations in the body.
