NEPHRONS - The Kidneys' Filtration Units. Nephrons are microscopic tube-like structures in the kidneys that filter the blood and cause wastes to be removed. They are the most basic structures of the kidney's anatomy, and are an integral part of the urinary system. Each kidney contains over one million of them.
The pressures that drive glomerular filtration. Taken together, these pressures determine net filtration pressure (NFP). Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure promotes filtration, whereas capsular hydrostatic pressure and blood colloid osmotic pressure oppose filtration.
