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.
Urine is produced in microscopic structures in the kidney called nephrons. Each kidney has many millions of nephrons. The glomerulus filters blood and produces glomerular filtrate. This filtrate contains water, glucose, salts and urea. Large molecules such as protein are too large to fit through the blood capillary walls. The bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and it enters the tubules. All glucose is reabsorbed immediately into the blood capillaries.
