Nephron is the combination of glomerulus and renal tubule where urine is formed.

 Reabsorption is the process by which the kidneys reclaim water and other valuable solutes, such as glucose and amino acids, from the renal tubules and return them to the bloodstream.

Answer: F
 Renal artery is the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood to the kidneys.

Answer: G
 Renal pelvis is the funnel-shaped structure at the base of the kidney where urine collects before being transported to the bladder.

Answer: I
