How does urine form in the kidneys?
The blood passes into the renal capsule through the renal artery, then moves into the renalcortex, and pyramids to the nephrons, through capillaries. The blood then moves into the beginning of the nephrons, called Bowman's capsules where water and impurities begin to be pushed out. Blood pressure helps to power this function. The function of the nephrons is to reabsorb glucose, and water, while excreting wastes: salts, bicarbonates, hydrogen ions, drugs, excess vitamins, etc.The blood continues its purging through the nephrons, then exits through the capillaries to the renal vein, which returns the blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The separated urine moves through the renal pelvis and descends through the ureter, into the bladder for ultimate expulsion (urination).
Rising blood levels of aldosterone cause the kidney tubules to?
To reabsorb more sodium and some tme that can lead to an edema (oedema)
What is separation of wastes from the blood?
Hemodyalisis
How do kidneys filter blood?
Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery. It is then cleaned as it goes through the tiny filters called nephrons.
How is urea transported in the blood plasma?
nitrogenous waste is carried through the blood. the waste passes into the nephrons (kidney cells) inside the nephrons the blood passes through "the loop of henly" in which the waste is pulled out of the blood and send to the bladder to be concentrated as urea
Why are nephrons surrounded by tiny blood vessels?
Why are nephrons surrounded by many tiny blood vessels

What is the process where nephrons are reabsorbed into the surrounding blood vessel?
the process where nephrons are reabsorbed into the surrounding blood vessel is the blood cells
Kidneys are made of many that filter water sugar salt and wastes from the blood?
Nephrons are the tiny filters that remove nitrogenous wastes from the blood. Nephrons are found in the kidneys.
Rising blood levels of aldosterone cause the kidney tubules to?
To reabsorb more sodium and some tme that can lead to an edema (oedema)
What is filtered from the blood in the nephrons and what is returned back to the blood?
Food.
True or False The kidney is composed of two blood filtering units called nephrons?
Tiny cells in the kidneys called nephrons filter the blood, they are composed of the glomerulus and the tubule. You have thousands of nephrons in each kidney.

When is glucose in urine?
One of the key symptoms of diabetes is the presence of glucose in urine. This is because all the glucose should have been reabsorbed in the nephrons of the kidneys. Those with the disease are unable to reabsorb it all.
What filters bad stuff out of blood?
nephrons and ureas
What carries blood to the nephrons?
health cells to the nephorns
