- 1NephronKidneys are composed of large numbers of nephrons
- 2Renal arteryBring blood to the kidney
- 3Afferent arterioleTakes blood from renal artery into kidney
- 4Efferent arterioleTake blood away from the glomerulus, if not filtered
- 5Blood capillarySurrounds the nephron
- 6GlomerulusWhere glomerular filtration takes place
- 7Bowmans capsuleSurrounds the glomerulus and collects fluid
- 8Proximal convoluted tubuleMore filtrate away from bowmans capsule - where reabsorption takes place
- 9Loop of henleMove filtrate through the nephron - reabsorption continues
- 10Distal convoluted tubuleContinue movement of the filtrate - tubular secretion takes place
- 11Collecting ductWater absorption
- 123 major processes of urine formation1. Glomerular filtration
2. Reabsorption
3. Tubular secretion - 131. Glomerular filtration (what occurs)Substances are forced out at a high pressure from the glomerulus to the bowmans capsule
- 142. Reabsorption (what occurs)Blood reabsorbed from filtrate
