substances that are excreted from the kidneys are urea, uric acid, creatinine, toxins, drugs, plasma inorganic ions,(Na+,K+,Ca2+..ect.) H+, HCO3-, of course H2O, and anything else the body doesn't need that's found in the blood plasma.
substances that are reabsorbed are amino acids, proteins, glucose, water, plasma inorganic ions and anything the body needs that is found in the blood plasma.
the nephrons are nonselective and secrete everything in the plasma, and the capillaries then reabsorb the vitamins minerals nutrients ect. that the body needs back into the blood, everything the body doesnt need goes to the bladder. What will cause the kidneys to lose more water from the blood? Diuretic hormones

What is the arteriole that contains cleaner blood because it has been filtered by the glomerulus?
The efferent arteriole contains cleaner blood after filtration by the glomerulus because some waste products and excess substances have been removed during the process of blood filtration in the kidneys. This filtered blood then continues on to be circulated throughout the body.
Where does the waste from blood go when blood is filtered in the kidney?
yes it passes through the kidney which has tiny tubes and because of pressure the blood is ultra filtrated which causes waste materials and excess water flow out and blood back to the circulatory system.
What are the four substances in the blood filtered by the kidneys?
The four substances in the blood filtered by the kidneys are water, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate), urea, and creatinine. The kidneys filter and remove waste products, excess substances, and toxins from the blood to maintain a healthy balance in the body.
What are some substances that are filtered from the lymph while it is in lymph nodes?
abnormal bodys <3
What is the process in which some of the filtered components of blood are removed from the tubule restored to the blood?
utrination
What is the function of the glomerulus and the bowmans capsule?
The glomerulus and bowmans capsule are part of the excretory system, and they are found in the nephron of a kidney. The function of the glomerulus and the bowman's capsule is to filter the substances in the blood. The glomerulus is a tangle of capillaries which have little slits in them. Water, salts, glucose and urea pass through the slits into the bowmans capsule, which leads to kidney tubules. Then, as the kidney tubules are surrounded by capillaries, the useful substances (all glucose, some salts, most water) are re-absorbed, and only urea and some salts carry on to be excreted.
In the excretory system what's the filtration process?
Filtration is when the blood is filtered to remove waste substances and excess water, also some valuable material like glucose is also removed. This leads on the reabsorption.
What two substances can be found in the glomerular filtrate?
Basically blood plasma minus proteins. The glomeruli can filter out most serum proteins, but lets a few small ones through (I think the cutoff is like 25kD). Some albumin does manage to get through, this is recovered in the proximal tubule.
What are some materials that are filtered from the blood?
When blood is flowing through your kidneys and getting filtered a lot of things that go through the filter are salts, water, urea, glucose and some amino acids go through. Later on much of the water, salt and some glucose and amino acids get reabsorbed. So much of what your urine is composed of is urea, water, salt with extremely small amounts of glucose and amino acids.
Some wastes filtered from the blood by the kidneys are?
urea and other harmfull subtance
What filters toxic substances out of the blood?
The kidneys are primarily responsible for filtering toxic substances out of the blood. They remove waste products, excess fluids, and other harmful compounds through the production of urine. Additionally, the liver plays a role in detoxifying the blood by metabolizing and breaking down toxins before they are eliminated from the body.
What is glomerular kidney disease?
Glomerular kidney disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the glomeruli, which are tiny filters in the kidneys responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood to form urine. These diseases can result in inflammation, scarring, or damage to the glomeruli, leading to impaired kidney function and potentially causing symptoms such as proteinuria (protein in the urine), hematuria (blood in the urine), and decreased kidney function. Treatment typically involves managing symptoms, addressing underlying causes, and potentially slowing disease progression through medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, dialysis or kidney transplant.
