How To Draw Nephron?

Draw a small round Bowman’s capsule

Draw a tuft of capillaries inside it for the glomerulus

Extend a short tube from the capsule for the proximal convoluted tubule

Draw the proximal tubule as a coiled segment

Continue the tube downward to form the loop of Henle

Draw the loop as a U-shaped bend

Extend the tube upward after the loop

Draw another coiled segment for the distal convoluted tubule

Connect the distal tubule to a collecting duct

Draw the collecting duct as a straight vertical tube

Add nearby blood vessels around the nephron

Label the glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, and collecting duct
