The structure of the basic filtration unit of kidney
Explanation:
- Nephron is a cluster of thin walled blood capillaries is the basic filtration unit of the human excretory system.
- In humans, a normal kidney contains 800,000 to 1.5 million nephrons. The nephron carries out all the functions of kidney and known as the functional unit of a kidney.
- It helps in filtration of blood from toxic materials. Internally, the kidney has three regions—an outer cortex, a medulla in the middle, and the renal pelvis in the region called the hilum of the kidney.
- The hilum is the concave part of the bean-shape where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the kidney; it is also the point of exit for the ureters.
