Which is the functional unit of the kidney where blood is filtered, water and other dissolved substances are reabsorbed, and waste is sent out to be excreted? ureter alveolus urethra nephron

Hello! Your answer is the nephron.

The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. There are about one million in each kidney. The nephron has multiple parts, but here's a brief description. The glomerulus is a cluster of nerves/blood vessels/spores, where all waste gets filtered. The rest of the nephron is one long tube. There are multiple parts in this. The loop of henle is where water and salts are reabsorbed. The proximal tubule is where most bulk reabsorption happens. There are many more aspects to the nephron, but these are a few of the more important ones.

The ureter is incorrect, as its function is to bring waste products from the kidneys to the bladder for removal. The urethra is incorrect, as its function is to bring waste products from the bladder and remove them from the body.  The alveoli are in the lungs, and have nothing to do with the kidney. (in general, however they can be more broad)

Hope this helps!

the cladogram shown here shows similarities and differences among several classes of vertebrates. anatomically, the four have limb structure as their common ancestor. we might separate the mammals from the other three classes because they a) divergent; do not lay eggs b) identical; are warm-blooded c) varied; a four chambered heart d) homologous; have mammary glands
