Composite histological image stained with H&E showing nephron segments and their epithelial characteristics. The center diagram outlines the nephron structure, with numbered positions corresponding to micrographs: 1. Proximal tubule (convoluted and straight) lined by cuboidal cells with brush border. 2. Distal tubule (convoluted and straight) with cuboidal cells lacking brush border. 3. Nephron loop (thin tubule) showing simple squamous epithelium. 4. Collecting duct lined by cuboidal cells with distinct cell boundaries. The image illustrates structural differences among nephron segments and their epithelial specializations.
