We call this process âultra-filtrationâ or âhigh pressure filtrationâ because it only works if the blood entering the kidney in the renal artery is at high pressure.ere is a diagram of the kidney showing a nephron broken up into six parts. Each part has a specific function. You can click on a letter to find out what that part does. Here is a diagram of a nephron put back together again.
