Detailed explanation-1: -What is Nephron? A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. They are the microscopic structure composed of a renal corpuscle and 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 nephrons are called uriniferous tubules as they are the site of urine formation.

Detailed explanation-4: -human kidney Each nephron is a long tubule (or extremely fine tube) that is closed, expanded, and folded into a double-walled cuplike structure at one end. This structure, called the renal corpuscular capsule, or Bowman’s capsule, encloses a cluster of capillaries (microscopic blood vessels) called the glomerulus.
