where does filtration occur in nephron

Answers

Answered by fluffy

Nephron is also called as the functional part of the Kidney, they are the main center of the process of removing the wastes that are created in our body due to the metabolic activities. Kidney is the main excretory organ in our body. The functional unit of kidney Nephron filters wastes like excess of salts, urea and ammonia.

⇒ The place where the filtration occur in the Nephron is the Glomerulus.

The whole Nephron consists of mainly 2 regions they are the Bowman's capsule and the Loop of Henle.

fluffy: Hey Actually by mistake I've clicked on the Answer but I was trying to explain the whole process please just wait for 5 minutes

fluffy: Hey! I'm done with answer but someone had reported my answer no problem my bad but here is the answer -

fluffy: The detailed explanation of urine formation -
(i) Firstly the Blood enters the Glomerulus where the primary filtration is done, the filtrate thus formed moves on towards the Bowman's capsule. This filtrate is also know as primary urine which consists components like salts, amino acids, proteins.

fluffy: (ii) This primary urine passes through the PCT and then Loop of Henle. Here in the region of the loop Henle the slats are filtered out like K+ and even Na+ Cl-
(iii) The absorbed useful salts are absorbed into blood capillaries.

fluffy: (iv) The DCT is the region where most of the components like proteins and even amino acids are already absorbed and sent into the blood stream through the blood capillaries that are surrounded through out the Nephron.
(v) Then the non-useful components like excess of water and salts, urea are then lead towards the Collecting ducts/tubes and then lead towards the urinary bladder.

NEPHRON -

Nephron is the functional unit of our kidney. The poisonous waste materials which are produced in our body due to various metabolic activities are filtered by it and are excreted in form of urine . Each kidney consists of over 1 million nephrons (uriniferous tubules). Each nephron consists of a -

a. renal tubule or a malpighian capsule
b. a nephric tubule
c. a collecting tubule
_____________________________________________________________

The part of nephron where the filtration of blood occurs is present in the Malphigian capsule and it is known as the GLOMERULUS.

Glomerulus -->
The afferent artiole enters the Bowman's capsule and divides into a bunch of about 50 capillaries. This bunch is called glomerulus.

How does filtration occurs in Glomerulus?

The walls of glomerular capillaries an bowman's capsule are very thin and semipermeable. Hence they act as ultrafilters.
Due to high filtration pressure in the blood of glomerulus , a part of water and dissolved constituents of blood like nitrogenous wastes , glucose ' amino acids , mineral ions etc. are filtered out in bowman's capsule . This forms the glomerular filtrate. The rest of the blood, left behind in the gomerulus is very thick ( because of the liquid part taken out ) and it is carried out by efferent artiole. This process of filtration is called Ultrafiltration.
