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.

That would be the nephron.
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.

The functional unit of a kidney is called the nephron.

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.
