Question

describe the structure and function of nephrons with diagram​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nephrons are the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Nephrons are composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and an encompassing Bowman’s capsule. Structure of a Nephrons: Nephrons are the basic filtering units of kidneys.

Thank you

Explanation:

Nephrons are the basic filtering units of kidneys. Each kidney posses large number of nephrons, approximately 1-1.5 million. The main components of nephron are glomerulus, bowman's capsule, and a long renal tubule.

Functioning of a nepheon:-

• The blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, which branches into many cappillaries associated with glomerulus.
• The water and solute are transferred to the nephron at bowman's capsule.
• In the proximinal tubule some substances such as amino acids, glucose and salts are selectively reabsorbed and unwanted molecules are added in the urine.
• The filtrate then moves down into the loop of henle where more water is absorbed.
• From here the filtrate moves upwards into the distal tubule and finally to the collecting duct. Collecting ducts collect urine from many nephrons
• The urine formed in each kidney enters a long tube called ureter from ureter it gets transported to the urinary bladder and then into the urethra.
