The Nephron:
Functions:
1. Filtration from glomerulus
into Bowman's Capsule (filtrate has
same chemical composition as plasma, except for large molecules-proteins-
which cannot cross membrane)
2. Secretion directly
from capillary into renal tubule (molecules
selectively removed)
3. Reabsorption from
renal tubule into capillary (water,
glucose, amino acids..)
