Detailed explanation-1: -As blood flows through the glomerulus, blood pressure pushes water and solutes from the capillaries into the capsule through a filtration membrane. This glomerular filtration begins the urine formation process.
Detailed explanation-2: -Filtration – Removing maximum waste from blood into nephron and creating a filtrate.
Detailed explanation-3: -A three stage process occurs in each nephron: filtration, selective reabsorption and finally excretion.
Detailed explanation-4: -The primary route in which the body eliminates substances is through the kidneys. The main function of the kidney is the excretion of body wastes and harmful chemicals into the urine. The functional unit of the kidney responsible for excretion is the nephron.
