kidney functional unites are Nephrons, they are responsible for the removal of metabolic waste and maintenance of water and electrolyte balance.
each kidney contains 1-1.5 million nephrons.
hope that helps :)
What else can I help you with?
The functional units of the kidneys are called?
The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. Each kidney is made up of 1.25 million nephrons. A doctor specializing in kidneys is a nephrologist.
Does the kidney have ureters?
Of course. The kidneys are connected to ureter tubes; waste is filtered through the kidneys and emerges as (relatively!) clean urine.
Where are the nephron units located in the kidney?
Nephron units are located in the kidney cortex. They are the functional units responsible for filtering blood and regulating the electrolyte balance and fluid volume in the body. Each kidney contains thousands of nephron units.
A microscopic functional unit of the kidney?
hypoplasiaRenal hypoplasia is abnormally reduced development of the kidneys.
Does the cortex contain nephrons?
No, the cortex does not contain nephrons. Nephrons are the functional units of the kidneys and are predominantly located in the renal cortex and renal medulla.
What is a tiny filtering factory in the kidneys?
The tiny filtering factory in the kidneys is the nephron. Nephrons are the functional units of the kidneys responsible for filtering blood, removing waste products, and regulating electrolyte balance. Each kidney contains millions of nephrons.
What system does kidneys go through?
The kidneys are part of the urinary system, which is responsible for filtering blood, removing waste, and regulating fluid and electrolyte balance. Blood enters the kidneys through the renal arteries, where it is filtered in the nephrons, the functional units of the kidneys. The filtered waste is then excreted as urine, which travels from the kidneys to the bladder via the ureters before being expelled from the body through the urethra.
What are the functional units of the units called?
They are genes.
What are the liquid in my kidneys?
The liquid in your kidneys primarily consists of urine, which is formed through the filtration of blood. This process involves the removal of waste products, excess salts, and water by the nephrons, the functional units of the kidneys. Additionally, the kidneys regulate electrolytes and maintain fluid balance in the body. The urine then travels through the ureters to the bladder for storage before being excreted.
Where are the nephron units loctated?
kidneys
Where is the site of urine production?
The site of urine production is primarily the kidneys. Within the kidneys, tiny functional units called nephrons filter blood, removing waste products and excess substances to form urine. The urine then travels through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until excretion.
Functional units of lungs?
Alveoli
