ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Urine is formed in three main steps-glomerular filtration, reabsorption and secretion. It comprises 95 % water and 5% wastes such as ions of sodium, potassium and calcium, and nitrogenous wastes such as creatinine, urea and ammonia. Osmoregulation is the process of maintaining homeostasis of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glomerular filtration is the first step in making urine. It is the process that your kidneys use to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so they may be eliminated from your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -1 Answer. The glomerulus serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood carried out by the nephron in its formation of urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four basic processes in the formation of urine starting with plasma. Filtration. Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nephron consists of the renal corpuscle and the renal tubule. The nephron is responsible for filtration, excretion and resorption.
