Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Urine formation occurs in the kidney in three stages: filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -There are 3 main steps of urine formation: Glomerular filtration, Reabsorption Secretion. These processes ensure that only waste and excess water are removed from the body. Each nephron has a glomerulus, the site of blood filtration.
