Together, 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.he renal corpuscles are the sites where the process of urine formation begins with a filtrate of blood plasma. 1  Each renal corpuscle consists of an epithelial cup called Bowman's capsule enclosing a knot of capillaries and other elements called the glomerulus.
Typically, dental crowns tend to last between five and 15 years, with some crowns even lasting up to 25 or 30 years. It's a big range, mostly depending on the patient's dental hygiene and habits.

Q: Can my body reject a dental implant, and if so what then?
