2.70 Nephron Structure

• Nephron is the function of the kidney which does the filtration and controlling of blood.
• Renal artery take the blood to the kidney. Urine comes down by the ureter.
• The lighter of the outer is called cortex, the inside called the medulla and the lighter colour space is the pelvic region.
• The reason of the different colours is that the kidney is made up of millions of tubular structures.
• The tubes start on the edge of the medulla and moves directly upwards through the medulla out in the cortex and whines a bit before dipping down into the medulla again and back up and another short twisting section before coming to a dead end (Bowman's capsule).
