Step 1 of 2

Urination is the process of letting out urine from the human body.

• Urine is formed from kidney which collects the waste fluids in the body.

• The waste fluid is the filterate of plasma. After the filteration, the body absorbs essential substances such as sodium, potassium, ions, and salts.

• The urine is stored in urinary bladder and excreted out through urethra.

• On an average 1,200 mL of urine is filtered from 1, 70,000 mL of liquid.

Therefore, the urine output in average daily is “1200 mL”. Hence, the correct answer is option.
