Tiny filtering structures where urine is produced in the kidneys are called
A
ureters.
B
alveoli.
C
nephrons.
D
bronchi.
Explanation: 

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: -Each kidney contains about one million tiny units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a very small filter, called a glomerulus, which is attached to a tubule. As blood passes through the nephron, fluid and waste products are filtered out.

Detailed explanation-3: -The kidneys remove waste from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of a ball of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus. There is also a small tube called a renal tubule, which drains the urine and joins other tubules carrying the urine out of the kidney to the ureter.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nephron is the filtering unit of the kidney. The nephron is called so because it removes harmful wastes from the blood, such as urea, uric acids, and excess of water. These wastes get filtered from the blood and excreted out as urine and useful products are reabsorbed by the tubular part of the nephron.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
