-
so the nephrons are going to sort of radiate out from the central portion
-
through the medulla and up into the cortex,
-
with the glomerulus near the cortex,
-
and the Loop of Henle stretching down into the medulla.
-
I also mentioned several features of the nephron.
-
this tuft of capillaries that's surrounded by a capsule.
-
The capsule is there to catch this filtrate
-
that's produced by high pressure inside the arteriole system
-
forcing some fluid out through these leaky capillaries.
-
The capsule, called Bowman's capsule,
-
is there to catch this fluid
-
and start it on its way through this series of tubules.
