GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys remove waste products called urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. There are about one million nephrons in each kidney. Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a small tube called a renal tubule.

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: -The bean-shaped kidneys filter waste products out of the bloodstream and dispose of them by creating urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Urea is carried in the blood to the kidneys. This is where it is removed, along with water and other wastes in the form of urine. The kidneys have other important functions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glomerular filtration is used by the kidneys to remove compounds from the blood and enter the nephron. It is a bulk flow process, which is dependent on the hydrostatic pressure within the glomerulus, the hydrostatic pressure within Bowman’s capsule, and the osmotic pressure within the glomerulus.
