pashok25 [27]3 years ago

Nephrons are structures that are part of the cortex and the medulla of the kidney. A nephron consists of an intricate epithelial tube that is closed at one end and open at the distal portion. A kidney is made up of numerous nephrons that converge in the collecting ducts, which in turn form the papillary ducts and eventually empty into the renal pelvis.

They have the function of cleaning the blood plasma of waste substances as it passes through the kidneys. Among these substances that must be eliminated are certain terminal products of metabolism, such as urea, creatinine, uric acid and urates, which are expelled through the urine. Nephrons eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and pressure, control electrolyte and metabolite levels, and regulate blood ph.

What is the relationship between "seeing" with the eye and "perciving" with the brain
NISA [10]

Answer:

Our eyes can trick our brain in some manner. When the eye see an image, our brain assumes that the image being seen is a image which had been seen in the past. Therefore, our brain is tricked into believing that the image which is being seen is of something which has been visualized before whereas in actual it is a new image.
