Detailed explanation-1: -Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood is at very high pressure and flows through the arterioles into tiny knot of vessels called the Glomerulus. These are located in the nephrons. From the glomerulus the blood pressure drops and the blood flows into arterioles which coil around the nephrons. These in turn connect to a series of small veins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nephrons: Blood from the renal artery flows into tiny filters in the kidneys called nephrons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kidneys are a filter system 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-5: -The blood travels from the aorta in the heart to the renal arteries in each of the kidneys. The renal artery branches into smaller arteries called the afferent arterioles. The blood travels from the afferent arterioles to the glomerulus, located in the nephron.
