  • what are the thousands of functional units contained by the kidney

  • what is the function of nephrons

    responsible for the formation of urine

  • what are the locations of a nephron

    the cortex and the medulla

  • which structure is present within the bowman's capsule

    the glomerulus

  • what blood vessel is the glomerulus supplied with blood by

    afferent arteriole (from renal artery)

  • what blood vessel transports blood away from the glomerulus

    the efferent arteriole

  • where does the blood from the efferent arteriole flow next

    into a network of capillaries that run closely alongside the rest of the nephron

  • which blood vessel transports blood away from the efferent capillaries

    renal vein
