MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Each kidney contains up to a million functioning units called nephrons. A nephron consists of a filtering unit of tiny blood vessels called a glomerulus attached to a tubule. When blood enters the glomerulus, it is filtered and the remaining fluid then passes along the tubule.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, which actively filters blood and generates urine. The nephron is made up of the renal corpuscle and renal tubule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nephrons are the structural and functional units of the kidneys. A single kidney may have more than a million nephrons!

Detailed explanation-4: -Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney, and the glomerulus is the proximal filtration unit of the nephron. The glomerulus is a specialized structure consisting of a tuft of capillaries, supporting cells, and matrix that filters plasma and prevents passage of cells and serum proteins into the urine.
