1. A nephron is the functional unit of the kidney that filters blood to remove waste and regulate fluid balance.
2. A nephron contains a renal corpuscle with glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, and a renal tubule including the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.
3. The nephron uses selective reabsorption and secretion to filter the blood, remove waste from the body, regulate electrolyte and acid-base balance, and control blood pressure and production of erythropoietin and renin.
The nephron is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and an encompassing Bowman's capsule. The renal tubule extends from the capsule.

Nephron (The Guyton and Hall physiology)Maryam Fida
Structural and Functional unit of kidney is called nephron.
There are about 1.3 million nephron in each kidney.
New nephrons can not be regenerated by kidneys.
Functioning nephrons decrease about 10 % every 10 years at the age of 40.
At the age of 80, there are 40 % of functioning nephrons as compared to 40 yrs.
It is formed by two parts.
1. GLOMERULUS
2. BOWMAN’S CAPSULE
1- Glomerulus:
It consists of tuft of glomerular capillaries.
There is anastomosing & branching network of glomerular capillaries.
Glomerular capillaries have high hydrostatic pressure (nearly 60 mm Hg) as compared with other capillaries.
Glomerulus is surrounded by a membranous cover called Bowman’s capsule.
Each glomerulus is about 0.2 mm in diameter.
Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule together constitute renal corpuscle.
Each renal tubule is divided into various part as they have different functions.
i- Proximal convulated tubule.
It is continuation of Bowman’s capsule.
ii- Loop of Henle. It is continuation of prox. conv. tubule.
* Loop of Henle has three parts.
a- descending limb,
b- u turn or bend in medulla and
c- ascending limb.
Ascending limb has initial thin segment followed by thick segment.
At the end of thick ascending limb, there is short segment called macula densa, which plays important role in controlling functions of nephron.

Kidney is a vital organ. Each individual has a pair of kidneys .
kidney is bean shaped organ on either side of your spine, below your ribs and behind your belly. Each kidney is about 4 - 5 inches long, roughly the size of a large fist.
The kidney job is to filter the blood.
kidney is reddish brown in color.
kidneys are also called as retro-peritoneal organ.
There are three layers of tissues that surrounds kidney
1. renal capsule
2. adipose capsule
3. renal fascia.
KIDNEY IS A VITAL ORGAN IN HUMAN BEINGS. EVERY HUMAN HAS A PAIR OF KIDNEYS WHICH HELP TO EXCRETE OUT WASTE PRODUCTS FROM THE BODY IN THE FORM OF URINE...
URINE IS FORMED IN KIDNEY BY THREE STEPS WHICH ARE
(1) FILTRATION.
(2) ABSORPTION
(3) SECRETION

A nephron is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and forming urine. It consists of a renal corpuscle (containing the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule) and a renal tubule (composed of proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct). Blood is filtered in the glomerulus, and the filtrate travels through the tubules, where reabsorption and secretion processes occur to regulate electrolyte balance and fluid volume.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

…………………….
1) Renal corpuscle – the head of the
nephron
(a)The
renal corpuscle is composed
of Bowman’s capsule and glomeruli
(b)Bowman’s capsule is the cover of the
corpuscle that
surrounds the glomerulus
(b)the glomerulus is the network of
capillaries found inside
the corpuscle
2) Renal tubule – the tubular
passageway of the nephron
6. Nephron structures and functions
Glomerulus
• The glomerulus is
surrounded by
Bowman's
capsule
• It is a network
of capillaries
that performs
the first step of
filtering blood.
• operates as a
nonspecific filter
- removes both
useful and nonuseful material
7. Layers of glomerulusEndothelial cells
• The endothelial cells of the glomerulus
contain numerous pores
• These pores are relatively large, they
allow for the free filtration of fluid,
plasma solutes and protein
Glomerular basement membrane
•
The GBM is a fusion of the endothelial cell and
podocyte basal laminas
Podocytes
• Podocytes line the other side of the
glomerular basement membrane and form
part of the lining of Bowman's space.
• Podocytes form a tight pedicels that
control the filtration of proteins from the

• fully permeable to water and
completely impermeable to solutes
(salt particles)
• receives filtrate from the PCT, allows
water to be absorbed and passes
“salty” filtrate to the next segment.
“Saves water and passes the salt”
16. Ascending Limb of the loop of
Henle
• a part of the counter current
multiplier
• impermeable to water and
actively transports (reabsorbs)
salt (NaCl) to the interstitial
fluid of the pyramids in the
medulla.
“Saves salt and passes the water.”

17. Descending limb has two parts,
(a) Thick segment-
• Thick segment constitutes about four-fifth of
the descending limb.
• It lies both inside cortex and medulla.
• The cell lining it are cuboidal.
(b) Thin segment-
• Thin segment is narrow part of descending
limb.
• It lies in medulla and is lined by flat
epithelial cell.

2-Release of Aldosterone
hormone
It stimulates the DCT to
reabsorb salt. of salt (NaCl)
3-Reabsorption
23. Function of the Macula Densa Cells
• It monitors the salt content of the blood.
• If concentration of salt is raised, the
macula densa cells inhibit the release of
renin from the JC cells.
Function of the extra
glomerular mesangial cells
• It secretes
erythropoietin
• Erythropoietin is a
glycoprotein
hormone which

24. Nephrons has the following function1-Nephron remove urea and uric acid
from the blood
2-Nephron regulate blood pressure.
3-Nephron also remove
pigments,drugs,poisons,excess
vitamins from the blood.
4-It regulates the amount of mineral
salts in the body.
5-Also regulate blood pH.
