Dear student,
 

Nephron is the structural and functional unit of the kidney. They acts as filters and removes the waste products from blood and forms urine. They are present in large number in the kidney.  After filtration, the reabsorption of essential ions and water takes place.

 


Urochrome is the pigment formed by the breakdown of hemoglobin and responsible for the yellow colour of urine.

Regards
