Answer 2

Explanation:

$\huge\pink{ANSWER:}$

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.

The nephron uses four mechanisms to convert blood into urine: filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion.
