Structure
|
Explanation
|
Bowman’s Capsule
|
Collects Glomerular filtrate and allows it to enter tubules
|
Glomerulus
|
Filters blood and produces Glomerular filtrate
|
Convoluted Tubules
|
where glomerular filtrate will flow through and needed substances are reabsorbed back into blood
|
Loop of Henle
|
Maintains water concentrations in blood by filtering out salts
|
Collecting Duct
|
re-absorbs water back to blood depending on ADH levels and collects urine
