NEPHRONS - The Kidneys' Filtration Units. Nephrons are microscopic tube-like structures in the kidneys that filter the blood and cause wastes to be removed. They are the most basic structures of the kidney's anatomy, and are an integral part of the urinary system. Each kidney contains over one million of them.
Filtration is driven by the hydrostatic pressure of the blood, and causeswater and small molecules to be filtered, while blood cells and large molecules like proteins do not pass through the filter. Source [10]. In reabsorption & secretion, as the filtrate passes down the nephron most of it is reabsorbed into the blood.he distinctive feature is that the tubule makes a sharp bend at the loop of Henle which allows tubule fluid to move downward into regions of increasing osmotic pressure (see diagram below). After the bend the tubule fluid moves upward through regions of decreasing osmotic pressure.
