Solution

Nephron:
It is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney.
The principal functions are- filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
The components of nephron include:
renal corpuscle.
proximal convoluted tubule.
loop of Henle.
distal convoluted tubule.
In the nephron, selective reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule because it is highly permeable.
