Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys filter unwanted substances from the blood and produce urine to excrete them. There are three main steps of urine formation: glomerular filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. These processes ensure that only waste and excess water are removed from the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Three processes involved in urine formation are glomerular filtration, reabsorption and secretion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secretion involves the transfer of hydrogen ions, creatinine, drugs, and urea from the blood into the collecting duct, and is primarily made of water. Blood and glucose are not normally found in urine.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glomerular Filteration. Glomerular filtration occurs in the glomerulus where blood is filtered. Reabsorption. Around 99 per cent of the filtrate obtained is reabsorbed by the renal tubules. Secretion. The next step in urine formation is tubular secretion. Urine. 31-May-2020
