What structures of the nephron does urea pass through?*10 Points?
Are u referring to different parts in Nephrons?If so, Anatomy and physiology of the nephron The blind end of each nephron, or kidney tubule, lies in the cortex and may be likened to a champagne glass, the walls and stem of which are hollow and one cell thick. The bowl of the tubule is known as the Bowman’s capsule (or the glomerular capsule). It surrounds an elaborate knot of blood capillaries – tiny branches of the renal artery – called the glomerulus. Each Bowman’s capsule and glomerulus together form the Malpighian body. The hollow stem of the champagne glass is the upper part of the tubule. This descends into the medulla where it narrows before turning upwards and ascending back into the cortex, increasing in diameter again. The thin portion of the tube is known as the loop of Henle and is primarily concerned with the absorption of water. The ascending limb of the tubule joins a collecting duct which joins with others before eventually discharging its urine into the ureter. In effe
