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: -Nephron. Nephron is the smallest unit of the excretory system that helps in the removal of nitrogenous wastes from the blood. Each kidney contains more than a million tiny filtering nephrons that help in cleaning blood.
