nephron consisrs of two partse.g,,malpighian corpuscle and renal tubule.
The functions are:
1:IT forms the filtering bed through which all the constituents of plasma excepting colloids of plasma are filtered and thus helps in urine formation.
Blood is filtered out of the glomerulus, a "knot" of porous capillaries, into the glomerular capsule. From there the filtrate passes though the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule where the substrate concentration of the filtrate is fine tuned. The distal convoluted tubule empties into a collecting duct but that is generally not considered part of the nephron itself.

Nephrons are the filtration units of kidney. Each kidney has a large number of Nephrons. The process starts with filtration of urine cup-shaped structure associated with capillaries is called bowmans capsule. This collects filter urine. As this urine this urine flows through the part of nephron, reabsorption of glucose amino acids, salts and water takes place. The amount of water and other substances reabsorbed depends upon how in access they are present in the body. The urine formed enters into a long tube called ureter through the collecting ducts of kidney then urine is collected into urinary bladder
