STRUCTURES INVOLVED:

STRUCTURE
EXPLANATION
BOWMAN’S CAPSULE
Cup-shaped sac that collects Glomerular Filtrate for entry into tubules for filtration

GLOMERULUS
Tuft of blood capillaries that filters blood under high pressure to produce Glomerular Filtrate composed of Water, Glucose, Salts and Urea

CONVOLUTED TUBULES
Portion of Nephron that includes the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) and Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) to carry out selective reabsorption of Glucose into blood capillaries

LOOP OF HENLE
U-shaped portion of Nephron that filters out salts to maintain Water concentration in body

COLLECTING DUCT

    The urine is not stored in the Gall Bladder, but the bladder. The Gall Bladder is located at the kidneys and is used to create bile, which emulsifies fats.
