1. Cortical 4. Proximal
nephron(s) convoluted
tubule

Nephrons located almost entirely in the first section of the renal tubule that the blood
renal cortex. These nephrons have a flows through; reabsorption of water, ions, and
reduced loop of Henle. all organic nutrients
2. juxtamedullary 5. Descending
nephron(s) Limb of
Loop of
Henle

nephrons with well-developed loops of reabsorption of water continues through

Henle that extend deeply into the renal channels formed by aquaporin proteins
medulla
6. Ascending
3. Glomerular Limb of
capsule Loop of
(Bowman's Henle
capsule)

Portion of the nephron not permeable to water.

Cup-shaped, hollow structure surrounding As the filtrate flows through, ions are actively
glomerulus pumped out of the filtrate, decreasing its
concentration.
7. Distal
convoluted
tubule

Between the loop of Henle and the collecting duct; Selective reabsorption and secretion occur here, most notably
to regulate reabsorption of water and sodium
8. Collecting duct

the location in the kidney where processed filtrate, called urine, is collected from the renal tubules
