what are two components of the nephron
Each normal nephron, generally, works day and night to get rid of wastes in the blood. And each kidney has about 1 million tiny filtering units. Two major parts of the nephron are the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule.The corpuscle has the glomerulus (see illustration). Cleansing of the blood occurs in this part of the nephron. The glomerulus, which is a tuft of very small blood vessels, has tiny holes that act as a filter.It allows water, wastes and small materials to pass through.leansing of the blood occurs in this part of the nephron.
