Were does filtration of wastes takes place inside the kidneys in the?

Blood is filtered through the glomerulus, allowing waste products and excess water to be removed and eventually excreted as urine.
Which substances are filtered from the plasma by the blood pressure within tissues?
Small molecules and water
What is filtered from the blood in the nephrons and what is returned back to the blood?

renal filtrate
Which two substances in the plasma are not in the urine of a healthy person?
Plasma proteins and red blood cells are not excreted in urine because they remain in the blood when it is filtered through the kidneys and into the ureters. They are too big to be filtered.

How are waste substances in the blood such as urea removed from the body?
The kidneys are the excretory and regulatory organs in the body. The kidneys contain over a million nephrons which are the functional units of the kidneys. Each nephron contains a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of capillaries called the glomerulus, enclosed by a capsule called Bowman's capsule. The blood is filtered in the glomerulus and the filtrate travels through the renal tubules were materials needed by the body is reabsorbed while the wastes are collected and excreted in the urine.Kidneys
