How do the structures of the nephron function in the process of filtering blood and forming urine in the human kidney, and what are the specific roles of various regions such as the glomerulus, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted

Answer 1

The nephron filters blood and forms urine through its various structures. The glomerulus filters blood, retaining cells and large molecules. The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs nutrients, ions, and water. The loop of Henle concentrates urine by reabsorbing water and salts. The distal convoluted tubule adjusts ion balance and pH. The collecting duct finalizes urine concentration and transports it to the renal pelvis.
