Filtration Glomerular

Filtration function in the human body

The human body has various systems to cleanse the blood of harmful substances and toxins. One such system is the urinary system. It consists of the kidneys and urinary organs - the bladder, ureters and urethra, which play an important role in filtering blood and removing waste products from the body.

Filtration in this system is carried out by a paired organ - the kidney. Each kidney has about 2 million nephrons. Each nephron consists of a glomerulus and tubules. The glomerulus has the appearance of a small filter, which is located at the beginning of the tubules. This is where blood is filtered from the capillaries
