The nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney, composed of a renal corpuscle and renal tubule. The renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, which filter the blood to form urine. The renal tubule, including the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct, processes and carries away the filtered fluid.
