Nephron - ANSWERThe functional unit of the kidney, or the structure in the kidney
that does the work.
Components of a nephron - ANSWERA glomerulus and a tubule.
Endocrine functions of the kidney - ANSWERMaking erythropoietin and the active
form of vitamin D.
Leading cause of End-Stage Renal Disease - ANSWERDiabetes.
