Q. The basic filtration unit in kidneys is:
Answer: Nephrons
Notes: It is no surprise that the basic filtration unit in the kidneys, like in the lungs, is a cluster of very thin-walled blood capillaries. Each capillary cluster in the kidney is associated with the cup-shaped end of a coiled tube called Bowman's capsule that collects the filtrate. Each kidney has large numbers of these filtration units called nephrons packed close together.
