nephron teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı: The basic structural and functional unit of the kidney, which filters the blood in order to regulate chemical concentrations, and thereby produces urine; any of the small tubules that are the excretory units of the vertebrate kidney; Functional unit of the kidney that removes waste and excess substances from the blood to produce urine. Each of the million or so nephrons in each kidney is a tubule 1.2-2.2 in. (30-55 mm) long. At one end it is closed, expanded, and folded into a double-walled cuplike structure (Bowman's capsule) enclosing a cluster of capillaries (glomerulus). Fluid forced out of the blood through the capillary walls of the glomerulus into Bowman's capsule flows into the adjacent renal tubule, where water and nutrients are selectively reabsorbed from the fluid back into the blood, and electrolytes such as sodium and potassium are balanced in several distinct sections along its length. The final concentrated product is urine. See also urinary system; {i} single excretory unit of a kidney (Zoology, Anatomy); A tiny part of the kidneys Each kidney is made up of about 1 million nephrons, which are the working units of the kidneys, removing wastes and extra fluids from the blood; (NEF-rahn); n single urinary tubule in the vertabrate kidney; Small filtering unit in the kidney, made up of blood vessels (glomeruli) and tubules
