Nephron (from Greek νεφρός - nephros, meaning "kidney") is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine. A nephron eliminates wastes from the body, regulates blood volume and blood pressure, controls levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulates blood pH. Its functions are vital to life and are regulated by the endocrine system by hormones such as antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, and parathyroid hormone.[1] In humans, a normal kidney contains 800,000 to one million nephrons.
Within each kidney are an estimated one million microscopic nephrons
Nephrons are located in your kidneys.

osmosis occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys
No. Islets of Langerhans are found only in the pancreas and contain both alpha and beta cells. The kidneys contain nephrons as their functional unit which contains the loop of Henle.
Why are nephrons considered the structeral and functional units of the kidney?
One MILLION in each kidney.
Nephrons are the tiny filters that remove nitrogenous wastes from the blood. Nephrons are found in the kidneys.
in the kidneys
The nephrons are found in the kidneys and are small tubules that are responsible for filtration. There are approximately one million nephrons per kidney.

The normal human kidney has about a million nephrons, but that number can vary widely. There has been research that shows a relationship between having significantly fewer nephrons and having hypertension.
An Organ
Nope. The nephron is only found in the kidney so plants can't have them since they don't have kidneys.
The microscopic chemical filtration factories in kidneys are called nephrons, which produce urine. The kidneys roughly contain about two million nephrons.
