| Nephron | Kidneys are composed of large numbers of nephrons |
| Renal artery | Bring blood to the kidney |
| Afferent arteriole | Takes blood from renal artery into kidney |
| Efferent arteriole | Take blood away from the glomerulus, if not filtered |
| Blood capillary | Surrounds the nephron |
| Glomerulus | Where glomerular filtration takes place |
| Bowmans capsule | Surrounds the glomerulus and collects fluid |
| Proximal convoluted tubule | More filtrate away from bowmans capsule - where reabsorption takes place |
| Loop of henle | Move filtrate through the nephron - reabsorption continues |
| Distal convoluted tubule | Continue movement of the filtrate - tubular secretion takes place |
| Collecting duct | Water absorption |
| 3 major processes of urine formation | 1. Glomerular filtration 2. Reabsorption 3. Tubular secretion |
| 1. Glomerular filtration (what occurs) | Substances are forced out at a high pressure from the glomerulus to the bowmans capsule |
| 2. Reabsorption (what occurs) | Blood reabsorbed from filtrate |
| 3. Tubular secretion (what occurs) | Substances move from blood to filtrate |
