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: -Their main job is to cleanse the blood of toxins and transform the waste into urine. Each kidney weighs about 160 grams and gets rid of between one and one-and-a-half litres of urine per day. The two kidneys together filter 200 litres of fluid every 24 hours.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a small tube called a renal tubule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your liver has many important jobs. One job is to act as a “filter” for your body. The liver filters or detoxifies the blood. Almost all the blood in your body passes through the liver.

Detailed explanation-5: -The liver is an organ located below the diaphragm that helps your body digest food and filter out toxic substances. The liver can become infected, develop autoimmune diseases or cancer. The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the abdomen, on either side of the spine, that filter your blood.
