Question

Draw the structure of nephron and explain its function

Answer 1

☆ STRUCTURE OF NEPHRON:-

♤ Each nephron is a long - coiled tubule whose one end is cup - shaped called Bowman's capsule while other ends are connected to urine collecting duct of the kidney.

♤ The Bowman's capsule contains a bundle of blood capillaries which is called glomerulus.

☆ FUNCTION OF NEPHRON:-

♤ It is the functional unit of kidney.It filters the uncleaned blood so that waste substances can be removed from the blood.

Answer 2

Answer:

The primary functions of the nephron include blood filtration, reabsorption of water, and other fundamental smaller molecules from the ultrafiltrate.

Explanation:

• The nephrons operate through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns required essences to your blood and releases wastes.
• Each nephron has a glomerulus to filter your blood and a tubule that returns needed substances to your blood and pulls out added wastes. Wastes and excess water become urine.
• The nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, is the system that actually creates urine in the process of removing waste and extra substances from the blood. There exist about 1,000,000 nephrons in each human kidney.
