Functional unit of kidney Nephron.
Outer kidney layer Cortex.
Inner kidney layer Medulla.
Renal corpuscle includes Glomerulus + Bowman's capsule.
Glomerular filtration Plasma → nephron.
Tubular reabsorption Tubule → blood.
Tubular secretion Blood → tubule.
,Excretion Waste leaves in urine.
Glomerulus job Filters plasma.
Bowman's capsule job Collects filtrate.
PCT job Major reabsorption site.
Loop of Henle job Concentrates urine.
