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: -A nephron is made of two parts: a renal corpuscle, which is the initial filtering component, and. a renal tubule that processes and carries away the filtered fluid.
Detailed explanation-3: -The basic unit of filtration in the kidneys is the nephron. Each kidney contains a million nephrons. Capillaries of kidneys filter the blood and the essential substances like glucose, amino acids, salts and the required amount of water are reabsorbed. Excess water and nitrogenous waste in humans are converted to urine.
