AB The  basic  urine-forming  unit  of  the  kidney  is  the  nephron,  which  consists  of  a  filtering  apparatus,  the  glomerulus,  connected  to  a  long  tubular  portion  that  reabsorbs  and  conditions  the  glomerular  ultrafiltrate.  Each  human  kidney  is  composed  of  ~1  million  nephrons.  Figure  25–1  illustrates  subdivisions  of  the  nephron.
