Answer:

Compare the functioning of alveoli in the lungs and nephrons in the kidneys with respect to their structure and functioning.

Alveoli   Vs  Nephrons

Structure Structure

  • Alveoli are tiny balloon-like structures present inside the lungs.
  • Nephrons are tubular structures present inside the kidneys.

  • The walls of the alveoli are one cell thick and it contains an extensive network of blood capillaries.
  • Nephrons are made of glomerulus, bowman’s capsule, and a long renal tube.

Function Function

  • The exchange of O₂ and CO₂ takes place between the blood of the capillaries that surround the alveoli and the gases present in the alveoli.
  • The blood enters the kidneys through the renal artery. The blood is entered here and the nitrogenous waste in the form of urine is collected by collecting duct.

  • Alveoli are the site of gaseous exchange.
  • Nephrons are the basic filtration unit.
