Explanation of Solution
Each kidney comprises approximately one million nephritic filtering units. Blood joins any nephron through a long tube surrounded by a capillary ball named the glomerulus. The glomerulus is covered by the structure known as the Bowman's capsule. The renal artery transfers nutrients and waste to the kidneys and branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels, ultimately reaching the narrow capillaries in the glomerulus. The walls of the capillaries are very thin and the blood is under high pressure. As a result, the water and the substances dissolved in the water are forced through the capillary walls into the Bowman's capsules. Larger molecules remain in the bloodstream.
Thus, the nephrons found in the renal can filter the blood.
