Question

practice it
what are the two main parts of a nephron?
the afferent arteriole and the efferent arteriole.
the bowmans capsule and the collecting duct.
the cortex and the medulla.
the glomerulus and the tubule.
the proximal convoluted tubule and the distal convoluted tubule.

Explanation:

A nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries where filtration occurs. The tubule (which includes parts like the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule) is responsible for reabsorption and secretion. The afferent and efferent arterioles are blood vessels related to the glomerulus but not the main parts of the nephron. Bowman's capsule is part of the glomerular structure, and the collecting duct is not part of the nephron itself. The cortex and medulla are regions of the kidney, not parts of a nephron. The proximal and distal convoluted tubules are just parts of the tubule component.

Answer:

The glomerulus and the tubule.
