An Introduction to the Alexander Technique. The Alexander Technique is a psychophysical learning process using conscious thinking to restore coordination and/or prevent mis-coordination in human functioning. What F.M. Alexander (1869-1955) observed empirically, is that the relationship between head and spine in movement is a key factor in vertebrate coordinationâa fact that has subsequently been verified scientifically.
A glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney.
The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Each nephron consists of one renal corpuscle and its associated tubule. The kidney as a whole consists of many nephrons (millions) with their associated blood vessels.ogether, the renal corpuscle and its associated tubule is called a nephron. In this cartoon, orange color represents renal corpuscles, blue color indicates tubules of each nephron, whose function is analogous to that of striated ducts, and lavendar color indicates collecting ducts, whose function is more passive.
