Nephron structure

This figure shows the structure of the nephron, which filters waste from the body's blood supply. Each nephron is composed of a glomerulus and a tubule. The glomerulus filters wastes and excess fluids, while the tubules modify the waste to form urine. Cleaned blood returns back to the circulation via a renal vein.
