Question

Describe the structure and functioning of the basic unit of the kidney, the nephron. Include the processes of filtration and reabsorption.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Each of your kidneys is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.
