Is water reabsorbed or excreted through the urine?
Water (e.g. a mixture of fluid) is excreted through the urine.Fluids are reabsorbed from the large intestines and then shuttled to the kidneys. The kidneys process fluids for excretion.

filtering machine to their blood
What are the filtering units that the two kidneys pass blood through called?
Nephrons
Which substance is not reabsorbed by blood after it passes through the kidneys?
excess water soluble vitamins uric acid ammonia....
How much of the fluid that comprises filtrate is reabsorbtion into the bloodstream?
Most filtrate is reabsorbed. Remember, just about everything other than cells and large proteins is filtered into Bowman's capusle, and your body needs most of it, or else all you would have running through your blood are cells and proteins. The kidneys reabsorb most of the water, ions and nutrients in the filtrate.
Where does cellular waste get removed?
Cellular waste is a broad term. The stuff your cells excrete are transported away by different systems. Much of the waste products and useless chemicals end up being filtered out by the kidneys and are then tossed out of the body through urinating. Carbon-dioxide, the waste gas produced by the cellular metabolism, is reabsorbed into the bloodstream and exits through the alveoli in the lungs.
Why are there no bacteria or viruses in urine?
Because the size of bacteria and virus molecules are too large too pass through the kidneys filtering system :)
Does water get eliminated from the kidney?
Yes. The kidneys are part of the urinary system that eliminates unneeded and undesirable substances dissolved in water from the bloodstream. It goes from the kidneys through the urethra and out the penis. The more water available, the easier it is for the kidneys to do their job.
Does the kidneys remove waste products from the blood through tiny filtering units called ureters?
No. they are called nephrons. The ureters are large tubes that carry urine away from the kidney into the bladder.
How does a fetal pig eliminate metabolic wastes?
As in any other mammalian species, the pig eliminates wastes through the umbilical cord, and then the mother's vascular system moves it back into her bloodstream. From there it is metabolized in her liver/kidneys. It all happens through the bloodstream until the pig is born and his own digestive system and kidneys kick in.
