On average, there are around 1 million nephrons in each human kidney. Nephrons are the functional units of the kidneys responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. Each nephron consists of a renal corpuscle (containing the glomerulus) and a renal tubule. The glomerulus filters blood, and the renal tubule processes the filtrate to form urine. The number of nephrons can vary slightly among individuals, but the approximate average is 1 million per kidney.
