What is the function of the nephrons in pig kidneys?
Nephrons have the same function in all kidneys. They allow the excretion of water, sodium and urea to form urine. They serve the function of removing waste chemicals such as metabolites and drugs from the body. Excretion of sodium and water is also important in the nephron as it allows the kidney to control blood pressure and blood volume.

What is the common between alveoli and an nephron?
Aveoli are part of your respitory system and are located in your lungs, and their function is to give Carbon Dioxide to your lungs (for you to exhale) and take Oxygen from your lungs (to give to the capillaries-your blood). So, the aveoli's, in a sense, filter your bloods oxygen. Nephrons are part of the excretory system and are located in your kidneys. Their function is to filter your blood by taking out excess salts and waste. So, the nephrons also filter out your blood, but instead of filtering the gasses in your blood, the nephrons filter out the metabolic wastes.
