2.60 describe the structure of a nephron, to include the Bowman’s capsule and glomerulus, convoluted tubules, loop of Henlé and collecting duct

2.60 •nephrons are filter in the kidneys

                  •blood enters into the glomerulus in the Bowman’s capsule, where the blood is filtered to create a filtrate of water, glucose, salts and urea.

                            •this travels through the convoluted tubules, with some reabsorbed 

                            •the loop is where water and sodium chloride are reabsorbed into the blood stream

                                      •the filtrate then travels to the collecting duct, to the renal pelvis and then the ureters to the bladder
