The glomerulus.
Water, electrolytes, glucose, nd nitrogenous wastes
first both wastes and needed materials,such as glucose,are filtered out of the blood.then,much of the needed material is returned to the blood,and the wastes are eliminated from the body
About 180 liters of fluid is filtered by your kidneys per day. You pass about one to three liters of urine. Rest of the fluid is reabsorbed by your kidneys.

Blood is constantly flowing through the kidneys and being filtered by the nephron. Different parts of the nephron cause reabsorption OS specific electrolytes, like Potassium and Sodium.
Renal capillaries, aka the glomerulus, where nitrogenous wastes and excess water in the blood plasma diffuse over to the nephron to be filtered and excreted.
