Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney, responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Each kidney contains approximately one million nephrons, which consist of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. They play a crucial role in regulating water, electrolytes, and waste products in the body, thereby maintaining homeostasis. Damage to nephrons can lead to impaired kidney function and various renal diseases.
