blood
The nephrons filter blood through the body and get rid of the waste which exits the body. The liver also filters blood other than the kidney.
Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body cells, and it removes waste and takes it to the kidneys where it is filtered from the blood and passed to the bladder. From there, it is passed out of the body through urinating.
The kidneys are concerned with urine production, which is done to to regulate the contents of the internal environment. The functional unit of the kidney is called the nephron. At the start of the nephron is a structure called Bowman capsure. This structure takes the filtrates out of the blood from a convoluted cappillary network called the glomerulus. Very much of the contents of the plasma is filtered, only leaving Red Blood Cells and plasma proteins which are both to big to be filtered. As the filtrate passes along the nephron most of its contents are removed back into the blood. The contorl of what is in the urinr comes mostly from this reabsorption, not the initial filtration, and it might be interesting to note that up to 50% of the urea is reabsorbed back into the blood not all goes into the urine. so in a nutshell ? can someone please make this more general ??? Plasma proteins, cells and platelets are too large to pass through the membrane; they remain in the blood. :D
nephron
The glomerulus.
All of the blood is filtered through the kidneys.
No - a lot of blood is filtered through the kidneys
blood
i'm not sure but i think it's kidney's.
Blood gets filtered because of the Nephrons, which are tiny little blood capillaries inside the kidneys.
The kidney does not get filtered. It does the filtering of the blood that passes through it. It removes impurities from the blood, and filters these impurities to the urinary bladder. The filtered blood is sent back into the body to be recirculated. And the impurities are expelled from the body in the urine.
Blood is filtered by the kidneys.

the renal tubule?
The blood is filtered by the kidneys and disposed of by urination.
