| Answer» The functional unit of the\xa0kidney\xa0responsible for excretion is the\xa0nephron\xa0. Each\xa0kidney\xa0contains about one million\xa0nephrons. The\xa0nephron\xa0has three primary regions that function in the renal excretion process: the\xa0glomerulus\xa0, proximal tubule, and the distal tubule.\xa0The kidneys remove urea and other wastes from the blood through tiny\xa0filtering units\xa0called nephrons. Nephrons (Figure below) are tiny, tube-shaped\xa0structures\xa0found inside each kidney. Each kidney has up to a million nephrons. Each nephron collects a small amount of fluid and waste from a small group of capillaries. | |
