About one million nephrons are in the cortex of each kidney, and each one consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule which carry out the functions of the nephron. The renal tubule consists of the convoluted tubule and the loop of Heinle.

Particularly, distribution of claudin-4 in the TAL and distal convoluted tubules was characteristic of bovine nephrons as were differences in the expression patterns of claudins 2 and 3. These findings demonstrate that the total lack of claudin-16 in the TAL segment is the sole cause of renal tubular dysplasia in cattle...

Kidney uriniferous filtration tubules (nephrons). Kidneys are the filtering organs of the body that remove wastes and toxins. The main filtering units are called glomeruli and the filtered fluid passes into the specialized tubules seen here (where more water and useful substances are absorbed, concentrating the fluid).
