Answer:

The structural and functional unit of kidney called Nephron.

Explanation:

• Each kidney consists of over one million microscopic and slender tubular units called nephrons or tubules of the urine.
• The major role of these nephrons are involved blood purification. Hence, Nephron is known as the kidney structural unit.
