    The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, consisting of a renal corpuscle (glomerulus surrounded by Bowman’s capsule) that filters blood, and a tubular system (proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule) that modifies the filtrate through absorption and secretion. Histologically, the renal corpuscle includes a visceral layer of podocytes covering fenestrated glomerular capillaries, while the tubules are lined by specialized epithelial cells—such as cuboidal cells with microvilli in the proximal tubule for absorption and simple squamous cells in parts of the loop of Henle—enabling selective filtration and urine formation.
