Question

Write the functions of nephron ? Where is urine formed?

Answer 1

In the first part of the nephron, Bowman's capsule filters blood from the circulatory system into the tubules. Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure gradients facilitate filtration across a semipermeable membrane. The filtrate includes water, small molecules, and ions that easily pass through the filtration membrane.

Answer 2

the nephron has a Cup- shaped bag at its upper and which is called bowman'scapsule. the lower end of bowman's capsule is tube- shaped and it is called tubule. the bowman's capsule and the tubule taken together make a nephron .one end of the tuubule is connected to Bowman's capsule and its other end is connected to a urine -collecting duct of kidney. the bowman's capsule contains a bundle of capillaries which is called glomerulus.one end of glomerulus is attached to renal artery which brings the dirty blood containing the Urea waste in it. the other end of glomerulus comes out of bowman's capsule as a blood capillary, surrounds the tubule of nephron.
