Explain the structure of the nephron, being sure to describe the function of each segment. Describe how the nephron filters the blood to remove nitrogenous wastes. (Which path do blood cells follow? Which path do useful substances follow? Which path do nitrogenous wastes follow?) Finally, describe how the majority of water is reabsorbed by the nephron and how water conservation occurs and is controlled.
