 The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney.It is composed of the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule.

 The renal corpuscle consists of the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. These structures are responsible for filtration.

 The renal tubule consists of:

 The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT).The loop of Henle (LOH) (composed of descending and ascending limbs).The distal convoluted tubule.The collecting duct.These structures are responsible for reabsorbing and secreting electrolytes and water across the tubular lumen.

 Approximately 95% of urine is water; the remainder is organic and inorganic solutes.
