PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nephron is divided into two portions, namely, the glomerulus and the renal tubule and helps in the removal of excess waste from the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -A nephron consists of six parts, i.e., Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, Proximal convoluted tube, Loop of Henle, Distal convoluted tube, and the collecting duct. Ultra-filtration takes place in the glomerulus. Glomerular filtrate collects in the Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each kidney contains over a million functional units, called nephrons, in the parenchyma (cortex and medulla).

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
