- Glomerulus – site of filtration from areterial blood
- Proximal Convoluted Tubule– first tube off glomer.
- Loop of Henle – U-turn connecting tubules
- Distal Convoluted Tubule – to the Collecting Tubule
- Collecting Duct – urine from many nephrons
- Peritubular Capillaries – “around” the “tubes”
- Glomerular Filtration
- Tubular Reabsorption
- Tubular Secretion
- 180 liters of blood fluid processes each day
- 1.5 liters of urine produced each day
