Blood filtration

Blood filtration is a crucial process in the kidneys, where blood is cleaned and waste products are removed. It involves passing blood through tiny structures called nephrons, which act like filters. As blood flows through these filters, essential substances like water, glucose, and salts are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, while waste products and excess substances are removed and turned into urine. This filtration helps maintain the body’s balance of fluids and electrolytes, supporting overall health by eliminating harmful substances and ensuring the proper functioning of various organs.
