Definition
15% of nephron
- contains the henle wich dips into the madulla of the kidney
- produces concentrated urine removes componets not filtered by the glomerulus

Definition
Proximal Concoluted Tubule
- blood leaves renal corpuscle to be further filtered
- follows/weaves around the efferent arterioles
|

Term
|
Definition
Distal Convoluted Tubule
- farthest from the gromerulus
- dumps into the collecting ducts
- contains the filtrate

Glomerular Filtration Rate
- volume of filtrate formed/minute
