The loss of myelin sheath is called demyelination and is the hallmark of some neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.

(Hello! Could someone help me with this asap? Will mark whoever is first Brainliest.) Nephrons, the functional unit of kidneys,
lidiya [134]

The matching of each situation to the step in the urine formation process where the problem lies are as follows:

  • Step 1: Stella's urine contains protein due to inadequate filtration.
  • Step 2: High toxin levels in the blood are due to Secretion.
  • Step 3: Increased Metabolic wastes are due to inadequate Reabsorption.
  • Step 4: The presence of vital Vitamins in urine is due to inadequate Reabsorption.

Thus, Step 1 belongs to filtration, Step 2 belongs to secretion, and Steps 3 and 4 belong to reabsorption.

<h3>What is the important function of Nephron?</h3>

The important function of the nephron may include the removal of all waste products through urine, secretion of numerous substances, excess water from the blood, etc.

Therefore, it is well described above.
