alveoli- It is in the alveoli that exchange of gases takes place
Nephrons- from renal artery dirty blood goes inside kidney. there are glomerulus which is to filter the blood passing through it. during filtration, substances like glucose, NH3, salts, urea, water, etc, present in blood passes into the bowman's capsule and then enters into tubule of nephrons.

2. It is made up of one celled thick wall which contains extensive network of blood capillaries.
3. Alveoli are the site of gaseous exchange in lungs. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place between the blood flowing in capillaries which surround the alveoli and gases present in the alveoli.
NEPHRONS IN KIDNEY:-
1. Nephron are long tubular structures.
2. It is made up of glomerulus , Bowman's capsule and a long renal tube.
3. Nephron are the basic filteration unit of kidney. Each nephron filters the blood and separates the nitorgenous waste in the form of urine.
