The bowman's capsule, Proximal convoluted tuble, loop of Henle (descending and ascending lims), distal convolued tubule and the collecting duct. The descending limb is permeable to water. The ascending limb is not permeable to water. -Do not accept glomerulus as part of nephron structure, glomerulus is part of vascularlature.
