Summary Introduction
To determine:
The movement of water in descending loop of nephron and compare with solute concentration.
Concept introduction:
Nephron is the small structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is made up of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. Nephron is the actual structure which produces urine in the process of removing waste and excess substances from the blood.
