Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the structure and function of the kidney. The kidney is responsible for filtering blood, removing waste, and balancing electrolytes.
Identify the components of the kidney involved in filtration and waste removal. These include the nephron, collecting duct, renal pyramid, and glomerulus.
Recognize that the nephron is the smallest functional unit of the kidney. It is responsible for the processes of filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion.
Learn about the structure of the nephron, which includes the glomerulus, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, and collecting duct.
Understand that while the glomerulus is part of the nephron, it is not the smallest functional unit by itself. The nephron as a whole performs the complete function of filtering and processing blood.
