Question

How many parts of the divided into nephron what are they?

Answer 1

Renal Artery – brings waste-filled blood from the aorta to the kidney for filtering in the nephron.

Glomerulus – each glomerulus is a cluster of blood capillaries surrounded by a Bowman’s capsule. It looks similar to a ball of tangled yarn.

Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)

Thin descending limb of the loop of Henle

Thin Ascending limb of the loop of Henle

Thick Ascending limb of the loop of Henle

Distal convoluted tubule

Renal Vein – when filtration is complete, blood leaves the nephron to join the renal vein, which removes the filtered blood from the kidney

Arterioles – blood is brought to and carried away from the glomerular capillaries by two very small blood vessels—the afferent and efferent arterioles.
