      - TUBULE
        -Shape of handle
        -Tubules of several nephrons empty into a large tube called collecting duct

        -blood enterin the kidney move to the capillary network where filtration occurs.
        -small molecules such as water, salys,... exit the bloodstream.
      - 2.
        -filtrate travells trough the tube of the nephron
        -some molecules reabsorbedby nearby capillaries
      - 3.
        Result=urine(is excreted)
      - -99% water and glucose return
