The document describes the structure of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. It contains blood vessels, tubules, and ducts that filter blood to form urine. The nephron includes a glomerulus for blood filtration through capillaries, proximal and distal convoluted tubules for reabsorption and secretion, and a collecting duct for draining the filtered urine into a minor calyx and ultimately the ureter.
