Detailed explanation-1: -Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a small tube called a renal tubule. Urea, together with water and other waste substances, forms the urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney.
Detailed explanation-2: -The kidney produces urine, and it is composed of water, urea, and salts. As the blood passes through the kidney, filtration and selective reabsorption occur, producing urine as the final liquid. In the kidney, many tiny tubules participate in urine formation. These tubules are referred to as nephrons.
Detailed explanation-3: -A nephron is the filtration unit of the kidney. It consists of a tubule which is connected with collecting duct at one end and a cup-shaped structure at the other end. This filtrate contains glucose, amino acids, urea, uric acid, salts and a major amount of water.
