Answer 1

Answer:

A nephron is the basic unit of structure in the kidney. A nephron is used separate to water, ions and small molecules from the blood, filter out wastes and toxins, and return needed molecules to the blood. ... The glomerulus is the specialized configuration of capillaries within the nephron that make kidneys possible.

Sorry,I don't know how to attach the diagram...

Hope it helps....

Answer 2

➤ Answer :-

⟶ Structure of Nephron :-

• Each nephron consists of a blood supply and a specialized network of ducts called a tubule.
• For each nephron, an afferent arteriole feeds a high-pressure capillary bed called the glomerulus.
• Blood is filtered by the glomerulus to produce a fluid which is caught by the nephron tubule, called filtrate.

⟶ Functions of Nephron :-

• 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.
