A. Afferent arteriole: Carries the blood away from the glomerulus toward renal vein
B. Podocytes: Create minute spaces (slit pores) for the filtration of blood into the Bowman’s capsule
C. Henle’s loop: Most reabsorption of the major substance from the glomerular filtrate
D. Distal convoluted tubule: Reabsorption of `K^(+)` ions into the surrounding blood capillaries
