Detailed Solution

Concept: The human excretory system consists of two organs called kidneys, which are bean shaped. Nephrons, considered the structural and functional units of each human kidney, number approximately one million in each kidney. The nephron's job is to remove waste and harmful compounds from the blood by producing urine.
