describe the structure and functioning of nephron it is the question of class 10 chapter life process
Answers
Answer:
Each nephron has basically two parts 1)malpighain body 2) renal tubule
Each kidney is made up of approximately more than one million 1.3 to 1.8 millions nephrons
Explanation:
Malpighain body:It consists of a blind cup shaped broader end of nephron called bowman capsule and bunch of fine blood capillaries called malpighain capsule.
Renal tubule:it has three parts.First or proximal convulated tubule PCT, loop of Henle which is U shaped second or distal convulated tubule DCT .distal convulated tubules open into a collecting tube .Collecting tube form pyramids and calyces which open into pelvis. Pelvis leads into the uterer .All the parts of renal tubule are covered by a network of peritubular capillaries formed from efferent arteriole.The peritubular capillaries join to form renal venule, which joins venules to form finally the renal vein
Answer:
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 nephron functions through ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration occurs when blood pressure forces water and other small molecules through tiny gaps in capillary walls.
