Question

Discuss the location of nephron processes.

Answer 1

• Nephrons are located on kidneys.
• Nephrons are the functional unit of kidneys.
• Renal cortex consist of glomerulus and the convoluted tubule of the Nephron.
• Renal medulla consist of mostly the collecting duct in the pyramid.
• Our both kidneys are made up of millions of smaller sub-units called Nephron.
• Nephrons are the filtering unit.
• Each and every Nephron include a filter called glomerulus and a tubule.
• Nephron work as a two step process:

1. ​​​​​​​The Glomerulus filters the blood and
2. The Tubules reabsorbs the needed materials from the glomerular filterate to the body and removes the remaining waste to collecting duct.
