1.	List any two parts of nephron and mention it\'s function??
Answer» Bowman capsule ANSWER\xa0A nephron\xa0is the basic filtration unit of the kidney. It is a cluster of thin-walled blood capillaries.\xa0There are\xa0different parts of the nephron in which the formation of urine take place which is the main function of the kidney.\xa0\tBowman\'s capsule and the glomerulus are together called as the glomerular apparatus.\xa0\tThere are afferent and efferent arterioles which bring and carry the blood way.\xa0\tThe blood is filtered by the glomerulus and enters the Bowman\'s capsule where the podocytes help in the filtration and the glomerular filtrate is formed.\xa0\tWhen the glomerular filtrate comes to the proximal tubule then the essential nutrients are reabsorbed.\xa0\tThere are two limbs of the loop of Henle, ascending and descending limb.\xa0\tThe countercurrent exchange mechanism\xa0occurs which help in the regulation of the water and ions in the blood.\xa0\tWhen the glomerular filtrate is in the proximal tubule creatinine, uric acid are\xa0secreted in it.\xa0\tWhen the filtrate goes to the distal convoluted tubule urea, potassium ion and some hydrogen ions are secreted in it.\xa0\tThe urine which is formed is transported by the collecting tubules to the renal pelvis.\xa0\tThe urine is transported out by the ureters to the urinary bladder to store and excrete the urine from urethra.
