    The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney that filters blood to form urine. It contains specialized regions like the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henlé, and distal convoluted tubule that reabsorb essential fluid and molecules from the filtrate back into blood while secreting waste products into the filtrate. The kidneys precisely control glomerular filtration and renal blood flow to regulate urine formation and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
