GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -The bean-shaped kidneys filter waste products out of the bloodstream and dispose of them by creating urine. Urine is made of these waste products dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Remove wastes and extra fluid Your kidneys act like a filter to remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood each day to make about 1 to 2 quarts of urine. The urine contains wastes and extra fluid. This prevents buildup of wastes and fluid to keep your body healthy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Larger blood components such as blood cells or proteins are not filtered in the glomerulus and instead are retained in the glomerulus and returned into the bloodstream. In this way, the kidneys regulate the body’s water and salt balance as well as the body’s pH and blood pressure.
