उत्तर
- Nephrons are structural and functional units of kidney.
- Each nephron consists of a 4 – 6 cm long, thin-walled tube called the renal tubule and a bunch of capillaries known as the glomerulus.
- The wall of the renal tubule is made up of a single layer of epithelial cells.
- Its proximal end is wide, blind, cup-like and is called as Bowman’s capsule, whereas the distal end is open.
- The nephron is divisible into Bowman’s capsule, neck, proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), Loop of Henle (LoH), distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting tubule (CT).
- The glomerulus is present in the cup-like cavity of Bowman’s capsule and both are collectively known as renal corpuscle or Malpighian body.
