WHAT ARE RENAL TUBULES ? PLEASE NO LINKS.
Each nephron has two parts – the glomerulus and the renal tubule. The renal tubule begins with a double walled cup-like structure called Bowman’s capsule, which encloses the glomerulus. The tubule continues further to form a highly coiled network – proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). A hairpin shaped Henle’s loop is the next part of the tubule which has a descending and an ascending limb. The
ascending limb continues as another highly coiled tubular region called distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
