ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerular filtration occurs as blood passes into the glomerulus producing a plasma-like filtrate (minus proteins) that gets captured by the Bowman’s (glomerular) capsule and funneled into the renal tubule.

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: -When the filtrate exits the glomerulus, it flows into a duct in the nephron called the renal tubule. As it moves, the needed substances and some water are reabsorbed through the tube wall into adjacent capillaries. This reabsorption of vital nutrients from the filtrate is the second step in urine creation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first step in urine formation is also known as ultrafiltration. This process starts in glomerulus, which is a tuft of blood capillaries. The glomerulus is nestled inside a cup-like sac located at the end of each nephron which is known as Bowman’s capsule.
