How do you describe a nephron?
The nephrons are found in the kidneys and are small tubules that are responsible for filtration. There are approximately one million nephrons per kidney.
What part of kidney responsible for blood filtration?
Glomerulli in the bowman's capsuleGlomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule)The nephrons in the kidney are what helps with filtration
Where does formation of urine begin?
In the renal corpuscle, which is a filtration unit of vertebrate nephrons, functional units of the kidney.
What are the filtering units resposible for maintaining homeostasis?
nephrons
What is left in the nephrons?
nephrons
What are the 2 stages of filtration in the nephrons?
filtration, reabsorption and secretion.
What are the 2 stages filtration in the nephrons?
filtration, reabsorption and secretion.
The kidneys contain microscopic chemical filtration factories called?
The microscopic chemical filtration factories in kidneys are called nephrons, which produce urine. The kidneys roughly contain about two million nephrons.
Which process is the first step in the formation of urine in the nephrons?
filtration

Where does glomerular filtration occur?
Blood filtration takes place in the kidneys ( specifically in the Bowman's capsule )....

What are the steps of filtration of blood in the kidneys?
These are 1. Glomerular filtration, 2. Selective re-absorption and 3. Tubular secretion. All these three steps are performed in kidney nephrons.
What are the 3 steps of blood filtration in the kidneys?
These are 1. Glomerular filtration, 2. Selective re-absorption and 3. Tubular secretion. All these three steps are performed in kidney nephrons.
Where does formation of urine begin?
In the renal corpuscle, which is a filtration unit of vertebrate nephrons, functional units of the kidney.
Describe the stages of how filtration occur in the nephron?
In the glomerulus. Note this is not filtration of urine, it is the filtration of blood leading to the production of urine as a waste product.
What is cortical nephrons?
the cortical nephron is another type of nephron which has shorter loop of henle extended in medulla region. it has no proper function but it works like as ultra filtration etc as juxta medullary nephron perform but juxta medullary has proper function.
