Answer 2

Answer:

1. Alveoli are the tiny air sacs present in lungs that allows rapid exchange of gases.
2. Nephrons comprise glomerulus and tubules through which glomerular filtrate passes.
3. Alveoli are tiny air sacs present in the lungs with the appearance of a bunch of grapes. ... These are mainly concerned with blood filtration.
4. A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidneys that regulates water and soluble substances in the blood by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed, and excreting the rest as urine. Its function is vital for homeostasis of blood volume, blood pressure, and plasma osmolarity.
