Nephron and Glomerulus Anatomy

The document describes the anatomy of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. It includes the glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal and distal convoluted tubules, loop of Henle, and collecting duct. The glomerulus contains an afferent and efferent arteriole and is surrounded by Bowman's capsule. The document also details the anatomy of the glomerulus, including the parietal and visceral epithelial cells, capillary lumen, endothelial cells, mesangial matrix and cells, and glomerular basement membrane.
