AI overview
A nephron is the tiny filtering unit that makes up your kidney, consisting of a bundle of blood vessels called a glomerulus nestled in a cup-shaped structure, along with a connected tubule made of specialized cells. These microscopic units matter because they filter your blood—with roughly 1 to 1.5 million nephrons in each kidney, they work together to remove waste and help regulate what your body keeps and gets rid of.
