The nephron ( - nephros, meaning "kidney") is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine. A nephron eliminates wastes from the body, regulatesblood volume and blood pressure, controls levels of electrolytes andmetabolites, and regulates blood pH. Its functions are vital to life and are regulated by the endocrine system by hormones such as antidiuretic hormonealdosterone, and parathyroid hormone. In humans, a normal kidney contains 800,000 to 1.5 million nephrons.
