Question

Filtrate is formed from blood flowing through the ???, which gets filtered through the [b] into the [c].

Then, in the tubules of the ???, the filtrate is adjusted:

a. ??? are reabsorbed and ??? are secreted by the proximal convoluted tubule

b. water and major electrolytes are osmotically balanced in the ???

c. ??? levels are controlled in the distal convoluted tubule and the ???

The fluid, now called urine, flows into a ???;

several of these merge to form a ???, and all of these empty into the ???

urine leaves the kidney through the ???

urine is stored in the urinary ??? until the ??? reflex opens the internal ???

urine leaves the body through the ???

Explanation / Answer

Filtrate is formed from blood flowing through the  glomerular capillaries, which gets filtered through the Filtration membrane into the capsular space.

Then, in the tubules of the nephron ; the filtrate is adjusted:

a. nutrients are reabsorbed and wastes &drugs are secreted by the proximal convoluted tubule

b.water and major electrolytes are osmotically balanced in the nephron loop

c.   Ca++ K+ NA+ and Ph levels are controlled in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting ducts

The fluid, now called urine, flows into a minor calyx

several of these merge to form a major calyx  and all of these empty into the renal pelvis

urine leaves the kidney through the ureter

urine is stored in the urinary bladder until the micturition reflex opens the internal urethral sphincter;

urine leaves the body through the urethra

Which of the following substances would you expect to find in normal urine? potassium, Acidic Ph,
