The _______ Filter(s) Blood and Produce(s) Urine

Question

The _______ filter(s) blood and produce(s) urine.
A) glomerulus
B) Bowman's capsule
C) bladder
D) nephrons

Accepted Answer

Nephrons are the functional units of the kidneys, responsible for filtering the blood and producing urine. The glomerulus and Bowman's capsule are structures within the nephron that function in filtration, but neither of them alone can produce urine. The bladder is a storage organ for urine, but it is not involved in the initial filtration process.
