Answer 1

Answer

• Substances not returned to the blood form urine
  
  
• Ureter : Transport urine from kidneys to bladder
  
  
• Urinary bladder : Stores urine
  
  
• Urethra : Transports urine from urinary bladder to outside the body
  
  
• The three regions of the kidneys are :
  - Renal cortex
  - Renal medulla
  - Renal pelvis
  
  
• Nephrons are Microscopic functional units of the kidney.
• Responsible for formation of urine.
  
  
• Nephron perform three functions:
  - Glomerular filtration
  - Selective reabsorption
  - Tubular secretion
  
  
• Glomerular filtration:
• Occurs as hydrostatic pressure forces water, ions, and other small molecules from the capillaries in the glomerulus to the space inside the glomerular capsule
  
  
• The concentration of the filtrate within the glomerular capsule is close to that of blood
• Renal tubule : Site of reabsorption and secretion
