Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	stored in the bladder
B	excreted through the ureters
C	reabsorbed into the blood
D	concentrated in the urine

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Each nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the glucose entering the tubular system is reabsorbed along the nephron segments, primarily in the proximal tubule, such that urine is almost free of glucose.

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.
