Question

plz answer.....
compare the functioning of alveoli in the lungs and nephrons in the Kidneys with respect to their structure and functions

Answer 1

Hey mate, here is your answer =====

The functions of alveoli is exchange of gases as when oxygen enters in the alveoli, it carries by blood n there is a by product named Carbon dioxide.
Whereas nephron filters the urine, take back the bicarbonates and useful things.

The structure of alveoli is broad and surrounded by the network of blood capillaries to spread oxygen to all the tissues.
Whereas nephron is not straight as there is a long distance for the reabsorption from the nephron to the body.

Hope it helps u dear :)

ALVEOLI IN LUNGS :-

1. Alveoli are balloon like structures.

2. It is made up of one celled thick wall which contains extensive network of blood capillaries.

3. Alveoli are the site of gaseous exchange in lungs. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place between the blood flowing in capillaries which surround the alveoli and gases present in the alveoli.

NEPHRONS IN KIDNEY:-

1. Nephron are long tubular structures.

2. It is made up of glomerulus , Bowman's capsule and a long renal tube.

3. Nephron are the basic filteration unit of kidney. Each nephron filters the blood and separates the nitorgenous waste in the form of urine.
