The nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, is responsible for removing waste from the body. Each kidney is composed of over one million nephrons that dot the renal cortex, giving it a granular appearance when sectioned sagittally (from front to rear).
The kidney is a complex organ made of thousands of tiny units called nephrons. Nephrons are the basic functional and structural unit of the kidney. The mammalian kidneys have two types of nephrons, namely, juxtamedullary nephron and cortical nephron.
