He nephrone starts with a cup shaped structure called Bowman’s capsule. Inside the Bowman’s capsule there is a very dense network of blood capillaries entering as capillaries from the renal artery and exiting as capillaries from the renal vein. This dense network of capillaries is called Glomerulus. The rest of the nephrone is a long coiled tube where materials filtered from the blood flow in. At some point the coiled tube becomes straight and is bent in a U shape tube, this part is called loop of Henle and it is surrounded by a network of capillaries from the renal vein, it is where reabsorption takes place. All nephrones end at a large tube called the Collecting duct where content of the nephrones are transported to the pelvis, to be secreted in the ureter.
