Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The kidneys remove waste products called urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons.
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of eliminating these waste products from the body is called excretion.
Detailed explanation-3: -This process is called secretion. The secreted ions combine with the remaining filtrate and become urine. The urine flows out of the nephron tubule into a collecting duct. It passes out of the kidney through the renal pelvis, into the ureter, and down to the bladder.
Detailed explanation-4: -The nephron uses four mechanisms to convert blood into urine: filtration, reabsorption, secretion, and excretion.
