Nephron Structure and Function - Kidney Filtration Explained #292134 (License: Personal Use)

This medical illustration depicts a functional nephron-the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney-showing blood entering the glomerulus, where filtration occurs into Bowman’s capsule, followed by fluid movement through the renal tubule. The yellow arrows indicate the direction of filtrate flow and reabsorption, while red structures represent blood vessels and capillaries involved in exchange. The image emphasizes key processes: ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption, and secretion.
