renal corpsucle function
glomulerus plus the renal bowman capsule
nephron
nephric tubule plus bowmanns capsule
collecting system
collecting tubules plus shared duct

blood components enter the bowmanns capsule as glomular filtrate and then becomes urine
some further components are also secreted and resorption into blood happens
what type of organization does kidney have
