Nephron:- It is basic functional unit of kidneys. A kidney is composed of about 2 million nephrons. The nephron uses four mechanisms to convert blood into urine: filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion of numerous substances. It actually produces urine in the process of removing waste and excess substances from the blood.

nephron is also called kidney tubule.
it is the structural and functional unit of kidney.
there are about a million nephrons on each kidney.
a nephron consists malphigian capsule which consists of glomerulus and bowman's capsule. then comes the PCT { Proximal Convoluted Tubule } which is the first convoluted region where absorption of water and mineral salts occurs.
then comes the loop of Henle which is the U shaped structure.
next is the DCT { Distal Convoluted Tubule} and after that comes the collecting duct where all the urine is collected and then passed out of the body!!!
I could not make much shorter than this!!
hope this was helpful!!
please mark as brainliest
