Question

What is nephron and its structure?

Answer 1

Hii......

Nephron is the structural and functional unit of excretion present in the kidneys.

Structure of nephrons:-

1. The nephron has a cup shaped bag at its end called the Bowman's capsule.The lower end of the Bowman's capsule is tube shaped and is called a tubule. The Bowman's capsule and the tubule taken together form a nephron.

2. One end of the tubule is connected to the Bowman's capsule and its other end is connected to a urine collecting duct of the kidney. The Bowman's capsule contains a bundle of blood capillaries called the glomerulus. One end of the glomerulu is attached to the renal artery which brings dirty blood containing the urea waste in it. The other end of glomerulus vomes out of Bowman's capsule as a blood capillary, surrounds the tubule of nephron and finally joins the renal vein.

Hope it helps...
Thanks :)
