Question

Name the functional unit of a) excretory system
b)nervous system - please answer this

Answer 1

a)The nephron is the unit of the excretory system. The nephron is the basic functional unit of kidneys that consists of a glomerulus and its associated tubules through which the glomerular filtrate passes before it emerges as urine.

b)Neurons. Neurons, or nerve cell, are the main structural and functional units of the nervous system.

Answer 2

The excretory system is divided into nephrons. The nephron is the fundamental functional unit of the kidneys, consisting of a glomerulus and its accompanying tubules, through which glomerular filtrate flows before becoming urine.

What does it mean to excrete.

• Excretion is the process of a living organism's hazardous waste being removed from its body. Nephron, also known as the fundamental unit of homeostasis, is responsible for the generation of urine.

Nephrons

• The functioning units of the kidney are referred to as nephrons.
• The glomerulus and renal tubule are two elements of the nephron.
• Afferent arterioles create the glomerulus, which is a collection of capillaries.
• Efferent arterioles carry blood from the glomerulus away.
