Bladder
Urethra
blood flows through from the heart
capillaries that are the beginning of the nephron
Bowman's capsule
this liquid is called filtrate including water, urea, ions and molecules
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
mostly organic solutes reabsorbed like glucose and amino acidshelps to recapture sodium and potassium
Osmoregulation
has pumps and other types of passive and active transport to filter out water and other materials the body needs
Loop of Henle
long and hairpin shapedmost or the reabsorption happens in this loopextracts most of the water and salts the body needs
Distal Convoluted Tubule
regulates levels of potassium, sodium and calcium
Collected Ducts
Medulla
center of the kidneysalty
Beginning of the Nephron
carries waste
holding tank basically
Urethra
tubes that empties the bladder
