Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Several studies have shown that total nephron (glomerular) number varies widely in normal human kidneys. Whereas the studies agree that average nephron number is approximately 900, 000 to 1 million per kidney, numbers for individual kidneys range from approximately 200, 000 to >2.5 million.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each kidney contains about one million tiny units called nephrons.
Detailed explanation-4: -Human kidneys filter about 180 litres of blood every day. Kidneys are the basic filtration unit in the human body.
Detailed explanation-5: -In a healthy individual, an average of 1100-1200 ml of blood is filtered by the kidneys per minute.
