Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three basic steps in urine formation are filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. Filtration occurs in the glomerulus of the nephron, where water and solutes are forced out of the blood and into the Bowman's capsule. Tubular reabsorption occurs in the renal tubules, where water and solutes that are needed by the body are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream. Tubular secretion involves the active transport of ions and other substances from the blood into the renal tubules to be excreted in the urine.
