Parts of the Kidney Nephron: Nephrons are small microscopic units of the kidney. Even though the nephron is a small microscopic unit, nephrons consist of different parts such as the glomerular capsule, afferent arteriole, proximal convoluted tubule, and glomerulus. The various parts of the kidney...
