Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Each nephron has a glomerulus to filter your blood and a tubule that returns needed substances to your blood and pulls out additional wastes.

Detailed explanation-2: -As blood passes through the nephron, fluid and waste products are filtered out. Much of the fluid is then returned to the blood, while the waste products are concentrated in any extra fluid as urine (wee). The urine flows through a tube called the ureter into the bladder.

Detailed explanation-3: -Excretion is the process of removing wastes and excess water from the body. It is an essential process in all living things and a major way the human body maintains homeostasis . Organs of excretion include the skin, liver, large intestine, lungs, and kidneys.

Detailed explanation-4: -The primary function of nephron is removing all waste products including the solid wastes, and other excess water from the blood, converting blood into the urine, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion of numerous substances.

Detailed explanation-5: -The renal corpuscle of the nephrons lies in the outer portion of the kidney, called the cortex. The renal corpuscle functions to filter waste from the blood.
