Glomeruli

Birds have small glomeruli, but about twice as many nephrons as similarly sized mammals.

Glomeruli Network of tiny blood vessels in the kidneys where the blood is filtered and waste products are removed.

Ideally, multiple core sections are obtained and evaluated for adequacy (presence of glomeruli) intraoperatively.

In the kidneys, about 180 liters of plasma is filtered through the glomeruli and into the renal tubules per day. citation This filtering involves about 600 g of sodium and 33 g of potassium.
