Ultrafiltration: Ultrafiltration is a process used to separate particles and molecules from a solution based on their size. The process involves forcing a solution through a membrane filter with small pores in order to separate the components. The size of the pores determines which molecules are retained and which are allowed to pass through. Reabsorption …

Urine is formed by a process called glomerular filtration. This process is carried out in the kidneys and involves the filtering of blood plasma through the glomerulus. The glomerulus is a network of small blood vessels that filters out waste products and excess water, salts, and other substances from the plasma. Once filtered, the waste …
Parts of a Nephron: The nephron is the functional and structural unit of the kidney that filters blood, balances electrolytes and produces urine. Each kidney contains roughly one million nephrons that are organized into different parts. Parts of a Nephron: 1. Glomerulus: This is a tuft of capillaries surrounded by Bowman’s capsule. It is the …

Cortex: The cortex is the outermost layer of a body part, such as the brain or kidney. It is made up of neurons and glial cells that are responsible for the processing and integration of information. Medulla: The medulla is the innermost core of a body part, such as the brain or kidney. It contains …

The kidney is composed of an outer cortex and an inner medulla. The medulla is divided into 8 to 18 cone-shaped sections known as renal pyramids. The cortex and medulla are connected by a thin band of tissue known as the renal column. The nephrons are the functional units of the kidney and are responsible …
Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney. They are microscopic tubules that are responsible for the filtration, reabsorption, and secretion of water and other various substances. Each kidney contains around one million nephrons, and each nephron is composed of a glomerulus and a renal tubule. The glomerulus is a cluster of capillaries that filter …
The kidneys are responsible for removing waste materials from the blood. They do this by filtering the blood, which is then passed through tiny tubules. The waste materials and excess fluid are then removed from the body in the form of urine. As the blood passes through the kidneys, they also regulate the body’s electrolyte …
The renal artery is the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the kidneys. It originates from the abdominal aorta, which is the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the abdomen. The renal vein is the blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from the kidneys to the heart. It …

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage. They are the main organs of the urinary system, responsible for filtering waste and toxins out of the bloodstream and producing urine to excrete them from the body. The kidneys also play an important role in maintaining …
