Is sodium filtered through the blood?
Not sure what you mean by that, but sodium excretion and retention is regulated primarily by the kidney. Sodium isn't really filtered by the kidney, but what happens is that it is so small that it gets by the filtering mechanism of the kidney. The kidney then has special pumps and channels in the functional unit (nephrons) which then takes that sodium back in.
In each kidney there are nephrons?
Yes, many in each kidney. Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney where filtration of the blood contents occurs and urine is produced - and its degree of concentration is determined. Various hormones and sympathetic stimulants act on the kidney to regulate these processes.

Are nephrons blood vessels in kidney?
Nephrons are NOT blood vessels in the kidneys. The nephron is a three-stage unit, located in the kidney, responsible for filtering and absorbing substances. There are about one million of these structures per kidney. # The filter unit is the primary part. Small molecules diffuse into the nephron from the capillaries. # The second stage is the reabsorption region. This is where certain molecules are actively transferred back into the blood. # Finally, the collecting duct transports the waste products to the bladder as urine.
