Question:- Where does filtration of the blood occur within the kidneys?

Answer:

The blood is filtered through nephrons in the kidneys, particularly at the glomeruli part.

These are collections of capillaries called the glomeruli which is the initial part of the nephron that is the Bowman’s capsule. When the blood is sent to the glomerular capillaries, the pressure that prevails in these small vessels forces small particles such as water, glucose, amino acids and wastes out of the blood into the renal Bowman’s capsule. This filtered fluid called the glomerular filtrate then moves to the renal tubule system for further refining.

These tiny structures act as filters that let small molecules through while the others such as proteins and blood cells are trapped in the bloodstream. This process of filtration is the first one in the production of urine which with subsequent changes that occur at the length of the nephron forms urine.
