\nFiltration of blood in the human kidney for the purpose of excretion occurs in the renal corpuscle, specifically within the structure known as Bowman’s capsule. Blood is filtered from the glomerulus (a network of capillaries) into the space within Bowman’s capsule.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. It consists of the renal corpuscle (Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule) and the renal tubule. The renal corpuscle is where the initial step of urine formation, glomerular filtration, takes place.
\n<\/section>\n
\nAfter filtration in Bowman’s capsule, the filtrate passes through the renal tubule (proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule), where essential substances are reabsorbed back into the blood, and waste products are further secreted into the tubule. The collecting duct collects urine from multiple nephrons before it travels to the renal pelvis and out via the ureter. The renal vein carries purified blood away from the kidney.
