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.
Introduction. Three separate processes contribute to the formation of urine within the nephron of the kidney. These are filtration, reabsorption and secretion. We shall be considering the first of these, filtration. Filtration occurs in the glomerulus of the nephrons. The glomeruli are capillary beds within the nephrons, and filtration of fluid out of the glomerulus occurs both as a result of the structure of the nephron, and of Starlings forces.
