Nephron - It is the basic unit of excretory system. Nephrons carry waste matter and produce urine and filters the blood. One nephron is made of many cells.
Neuron - It is the basic unit of nervous system. Neurons carry nerve impulses. One neuron has only one single cell and is made of axon.These are two completely different structures, infact its hard to see any similaritie. A neurone is a single cell that has a long process called an axon along which it can conduct an action potential. These cells are used for rapid comunication arounf the bodt and within the CNS. A nephron is the functional unit in the kidney. At the start is has a renal corpuscle where nutrients pass, from convoluted anastamoses of blood vessels called the glomerulus, into a cup shape at the enf of the nephron tube called the Bowmans capsule. The tube of the nephron then runs of from the capsule forming the proximal convoluted tubuel, loop of henle and distal convoluted tubule before joining the collecting duct. This strucutre is surrounded by an efferent ateriole that collects the nutrients that are reabsorbed from the nephron, this is how the nephron works as a filtering unit. All the things that are not reabosrbed into the blood vessel go on to become the urine. The neurone is only a single cell whereas the nephron a made up of many many cells of different types.

As nouns the differ between nephron nd neuron is that nephron the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney which filter the blood in order to regulate chemical concentration and thereby produces urine while neuron is a cell of nervous system which conduct nerve implus consisting of an axon and several dendrites neurons are conduct by synapses
