Kidney Functions and Structure

Lowkey, the kidneys are like the sigma goons of the body, managing osmoregulation and waste like a skibidi dance party. They filter blood through nephrons, where glomerular filtration creates primary urine that is rich in plasma goodies but low on proteins. Tubular resorption kicks in, reclaiming all the sugar and most of the NaCl, while water gets reabsorbed in Henle's loop. The bladder holds up to 700 ml, waiting for the right moment to release. Dialysis is a dank method for cleaning blood when things go wrong, while nephroptosis is like when a kidney decides to go on an adventure down south. Keep your kidneys in check!
