Nephron

Simplified 2D anatomical diagram of a single kidney nephron shown as a thin pale beige, pink, or tan tubular unit with a narrow lumen. At one end is a round or cup-shaped Bowman's capsule forming the renal corpuscle and enclosing a compact tuft-like glomerulus, often shown in red. From this begins a coiled proximal tubule, descending into a long U-shaped hairpin loop of Henle with descending and ascending limbs, then returning to a coiled distal tubule, followed by a straighter segment connecting toward or into a collecting duct. Clean textbook style with distinct tubular segments, compact microscopic proportions, and pale pink, tan, and light red tones.
