describe the structure and functioning of nephrons
Answers
Answer:
The nephrons are the basic filtering unit of our excretion system.
Each nephron has a Bowman's capsule which is a cup shaped bag having a bundle of vessels called glomerulus. Impure blood from all parts of our body enters the glomerulus through the renal artery and the impurities are filtered, The rest of the nephron is coiled and there sugars, amino acids, excess water etc. which are important for the body are re absorbed. The filtrate left is urine containing all the waste generated in body e.g. urea. This urine is excreted through the urethra
A nephron is the filtration unit of the kidney. It consists of a tubule which is connected with collecting duct at one end and a cup-shaped structure at the other end. This filtrate contains glucose, amino acids, urea, uric acid, salts and a major amount of water.
