Explanation:

A pair of Kidneys is the principal excretory organ of the humans. Each kidney is composed of millions of its unit called nephrons. The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney as it filters out urea, water, and glucose from the bloodstream through the process of ultrafiltration. The filtered out material is called nephric filtrate. The filtrate then moves various tubules, called renal tubules where important molecules such as glucose, ions and water are reabsorbed into the blood.
