Explanation:
An artificial kidney called a hemodialyzer is used to remove waste and extra chemicals and fluid from the blood. To get the blood into the artificial kidney, the doctor needs to make an access (entrance) into the blood vessels.
A nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidneys that regulates water and soluble substances in the blood by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed, and excreting the rest as urine. Its function is vital for homeostasis of blood volume, blood pressure, and plasma osmolarity.
