1. Glomerulus: A ball-shaped cluster of blood vessels where filtration of blood occurs.

2. Proximal convoluted tubule: The first segment of the renal tubule where reabsorption of water and important solutes occurs.
3. Loop of Henle: A U-shaped structure that reabsorbs water and sodium ions from the filtrate.
4. Distal convoluted tubule: The final segment of the renal tubule where fine-tuning of filtrate composition occurs before it exits the nephron.
