It is also located in the S3 segment of the proximal tubule in each nephron in the kidneys.

Also serves as part of the filtration system in capillaries and the glomeruli of nephron in the kidney.

The nephron carries out nearly all of the kidney's functions.

They demonstrated that sodium handling by the distal nephron is under the control of a local regulatory system.

Most kidney nephron components, including glomeruli and renal tubules, derive from the metanephric mesenchyme.

Finally, a role of angiotensin II in sodium and potassium handling in the distal nephron has been identified.

Urea can then re-enter the nephron and be excreted or recycled again depending on whether ADH is still present or not.

- Any of the small tubules that are the excretory units of the vertebrate kidney
- The nephron (from Greek u03BDu03B5u03C6u03C1u03CCu03C2 - nephros, meaning "kidney") is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine...
- (nephrons) Microscopic structures in the kidneys that filter blood and form urine. (30)
- The working units of the kidney that remove waste and extra fluids from the blood. Each kidney is made of approximately 1 million nephrons.
- The part of the kidney that produces urine. It has three functions. It filters waste substances from the blood. It also secretes additional waste substances and reabsorbs useful materials, which are returned to the blood.
- Functional unit of kidney structure of vertebrates, consisting of a Bowman's capsule, an enclosed glomerulus, and the attached uriniferous tubule.
- The filtering unit of the kidney which performs the job of filtering and fluid balance jobs - each kidney is made up of many nephrons.
- The functional unit of the kidney that acts as a filter for the blood and as a recycling center by reabsorbing water and other desireable elements into the body.
- NEFF-rawn/ Excretory tubule within the kidney.
