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: -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.
