The filtration pressure (FP) in a nephron is FP = 15 mm Hg
The structural and operational unit of the kidney is the nephron. It filters the blood and reabsorbs the vital nutrients to control the levels of water and minerals like sodium.
Each nephron is made up of a renal corpuscle (glomerulus within Bowman's capsule), a proximal tubule (convoluted and straight components), an intermediate tubule (loop of Henle), a distal convoluted tubule, a connecting tubule, cortical, outer medullary, and inner medullary collecting ducts, as well as these additional components.
Cortical and juxtamedullary nephrons are the two main categories of nephrons.
