The kidneys filter blood through structures called nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney. Each nephron contains a glomerulus, where blood is initially filtered, and a renal tubule, where essential substances are reabsorbed and waste is secreted. This filtration process helps regulate fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and the removal of waste products from the body. Ultimately, the filtered waste is excreted as urine.
The singular form of "kidneys" is "kidney." The term refers to the organ in the body that filters waste from the blood and produces urine. Each person typically has two kidneys, but they function as individual units.
