Nephron
A tiny filtering unit in the kidney, it removes waste from the blood to produce urine
Real World Example
Imagine cleaning out your fridge and sorting through all the food to decide what to keep and what to throw away. This process is similar to what a nephron does in your kidney, as it filters the blood to determine what nutrients to retain and what waste to expel as urine. Just like you separate expired food from fresh items, the nephron acts as a meticulous sorting machine, ensuring only the necessary elements are reabsorbed into your bloodstream while the waste products are efficiently discarded.
