👉 A nephrotome is a type of cell that plays a crucial role in the filtration of waste products from the kidney. These cells are surrounded by nephrons, which are small, hollow structures located within the glomerulus (the lining of the nephron). The nephrons filter blood and remove waste products such as urea, creatinine, and other substances. Nephrotomes are responsible for filtering out these toxins in the urine, ensuring that the kidneys can efficiently remove waste from the body
