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.

Haha, actually, a fetal pig has a larger thymus than an adult pig. The thymus plays a large role in maturing lymphocytes (ie, it has has a large role in the immune system). The thymus is active in young children and eventually degrades as the animal gets older.

A bar is a bore hog that has been castrated, similar to a steer bovine or a gelding horse. A neutered male pig or hog is called a 'Barrow' and that could be abbreviated as 'Bar', but I wonder if this question was prompted by someone saying "Boar" with a very heavy accent.
In the past two decades, I am sure I recall much publicised investigations into and confirming the disposal of human bodies/body parts in a manner ultimately resulting in their consumption by pigs. I have also been told by friends from country/farm areas that pigs are NEVER fed meat scraps for fear they will develop a taste for it- human or otherwise. These animals are apparently very clever and a hungry pig is a formidable animal.
