Explain the function of nephron related to ncrt
Answers
Describe the structure and functioning of nephrons.
Nephrons are the basic filtering units of kidneys. Each kidney possesses
large number of nephrons, approximately 1-1.5 million. The main
components of the nephron are glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, and a long
renal tubule. Functioning of a nephron:
a. The blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, which branches into many capillaries associated with glomerulus.
b. The water and solute are transferred to the nephron at Bowman’s capsule.
c. In the proximal tubule, some substances such as amino acids,
glucose, and salts are selectively reabsorbed and unwanted molecules are
added in the urine.
d. The filtrate then moves down into the loop of Henle, where more water is absorbed.
e. From here, the filtrate moves upwards into the distal tubule
and finally to the collecting duct. Collecting duct collects urine from
many nephrons.
f. The urine formed in each kidney enters a long tube called
ureter. From ureter, it gets transported to the urinary bladder and then
into the urethra.
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER....
Nephron are the filtration units of our kidney . Each kidney has a large number of nephrons. The process starts with filtration of urine. Cup shaped structure associated with capillaries is called Bowman's capsule. This collects filtered urine. At this urine flows through the tabular part of nephron, reabsorbtion of glucose, amino acid, salt and water take place ......
