Bowman's Capsule - A part of the kidney that collects the fluid filtered out of the blood by the glomerulus., Collecting tubule - Tubes in the kidney that collect urine from the nephrons and send it to the bladder., Distal Convoluted Tubule - A part of the nephron that adjusts the levels of salt, potassium, and water in the urine., Glomerulus - A tiny ball of blood vessels in the kidney where waste is filtered out of the blood., Juxtaglomerular Apparatus - A structure in the kidney that helps regulate blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus., Kidneys - Organs that filter blood to remove waste and extra fluids, creating urine, Loop of Henle - A long, U-shaped part of the nephron that helps concentrate urine by absorbing water and salt, Nephron Unit - The functional unit of the kidney, where blood is filtered and urine is made, Peritubular Capillaries - Small blood vessels around the nephron that help reabsorb water and nutrients from the urine., Proximal Convoluted Tubule - The first part of the nephron where nutrients, water, and salts are reabsorbed back into the blood., Afferent arteriole - A small blood vessel that carries blood into the glomerulus of the kidney, where the filtration process begins, Efferent arteriole - A small blood vessel that carries blood away from the glomerulus after filtration. It transports the filtered blood to the peritubular capillaries, where reabsorption and secretion processes occur.,
