ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nephrons are the kidneys’ functional unit, which looks like a tiny funnel attached to a long tube. These funnel-shaped structures have tiny capillaries that filter the waste materials from the blood. Millions of these structures are present in the kidneys.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each of your kidneys is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each kidney contains over 1 million tiny structures called nephrons. The nephrons are located partly in the cortex and partly inside the renal pyramids, where the nephron tubules make up most of the pyramid mass.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nephron is the minute or microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each kidney contains about one million tiny units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a very small filter, called a glomerulus, which is attached to a tubule. As blood passes through the nephron, fluid and waste products are filtered out.
