Alveoli and nephron act as the structural and functional units of lungs and kidneys respectively. Alveoli occur in the respiratory system while the nephrons occur in the excretory system. The cell wall of alveoli and nephrons is thick and surrounded by blood capillaries. Let us have a detailed look at the differences between alveoli and nephrons with respect to their structure and function
ALVEOLI
Alveoli are the tiny air sacs present in the lungs that allows the rapid exchange of gases
Present in the lungs
There are located in the respiratory system
There are around 480 million alveoli found in each lung
These are sac-like structures
Pulmonary arterioles supply blood
Blood is supplied to pulmonary veins
Facilitates gaseous exchange in lungs
Made up of simple squamous epithelium
________________________________________________________
NEPHRONS
Nephrons comprise glomerulus and tubules through which glomerular filtrate passes.
Present in kidneys
These are located in the excretory system
Around 1.5 million nephrons found in kidneys
These are tubular structures
Afferent arterioles supply blood
Blood is supplied to renal veins
Facilitates blood filtration to produce urine
Made up of simple cuboidal epithelium with microvilli
HOPE IT HELPS
THANKS FOR MAKING ME BRAINLIST
congratulations rose
for genius rank rose
u did it very fast
btw gm
hru
have a bangtastic day ahead
Alveoli are the tiny air sacs present in the lungs that allows the rapid exchange of gases.
they are present in lungs
these are sac like structure
it is the site for gaseous state exchange and makes large surface area for gaseous exchange
nephrons are the functional units of kidney
these r the tubular in structure
Made up of simple cuboidal epithelium with microvilli
each kidney consists of 1-1.5 million nephrons
actually i have this concept
this nephron diagram is very important and even heart.
hope it helps you rose
actually I was saying abt my exams yesterday right
yap it's gonna be easy
coz we have only mcqs for the exams
only for this year exams
