The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. It consists of the renal corpuscle, which filters blood, and the renal tubule, which reabsorbs water and nutrients and secretes waste products. The loop of Henle is a part of the renal tubule that helps to concentrate urine. The renal pelvis is the funnel-shaped structure that collects urine from the nephrons.
