Nephron structure has 2 major parts: Renal tubule Renal corpuscle

Blood cell

A blood cell, also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte, is a cell produced through hematopoiesis and found mainly in the blood. Together, these three kinds of blood cells add up to a total 45% of the blood tissue by volume, with the remaining 55% of the volume composed of plasma, the liquid component of blood.

Renal Tubule of Nephron A structure that arises from the glomerulus

Glomerulus

The glomerulus, is a network of small blood vessels known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. The tuft is structurally supported by the mesangium - the space between the blood vessels - made up of intraglomerular mesangial cells. The blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier, which yields its filtrate of water and soluble substan…

which is long and convoluted in structure is known as a renal tubule. On the basis of its function, it can be divided into 3 major parts:
