Nephron Diagram || How to draw and label the parts of a Nephron
‘Nephron Diagram || How to draw and label the parts of a Nephron’ is demonstrated in this video tutorial step by step. Each nephron has basically two parts. One is malpighian body and other is renal tubule.
Malpighian body consists of a blind cup shaped broader end of nephron called Bowman’s capsule and bunch of fine blood capillaries called glomerulus. The Bowman’s capsule and glomerulus together called malpighian capsule or renal capsule. Glomerulus develops from afferent arteriole. It gives rise to an efferent arteriole.
Because of the narrower out let (efferent arteriole) pressure exerts in the glomerulus. It functions as filtration unit. Bowman’s capsule which accommodates one glomerulus, is lined by a single layer of squamous epithelial cells called podocyte cells. There are fine pores between podocyte cells to allow passage of materials filtered out of glomerulus.
Renal tubule has three parts. First or proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, which is U shaped, second or distal convoluted t
