Nutrients the body needs ( glucose, amino acids, and other small molecules ), electrolytes ( sodium, potassium ), and water are reabsorbed into the blood at the kidney. Sodium, Potassium, and other electrolytes are monitored and reabsorbed as well.
Urine
Urine is carried through the medulla of the kidney by structures called the renal tubules. These tubules are responsible for reabsorbing essential substances from the filtrate and concentrating urine before it is excreted from the body.
Yes, nephrons are the functional units of the kidney responsible for excretion. They filter blood to remove waste products and excess substances from the body, which are then excreted as urine.
Substances like glucose, amino acids, and ions are reabsorbed by capillaries in the kidney. Waste products like urea and creatinine are typically removed from the filtrate and excreted in urine.
They all part of the excretory system. Kidney is well known organ of excretion. The volatile substances are excreted by lungs. Sweat glands also excretes few substances. (Like heavy metals, probably.)

excess water and other water soluble substances ......
sweat ,excess water, urea, carbon dioxide and ammonia are excreted in skin.
During secretion in the kidney, specific substances are actively transported from the blood into the renal tubules. This process primarily occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule and involves the removal of waste products, excess ions, and certain drugs. Secretion helps regulate electrolyte balance and pH levels in the body, ensuring that harmful substances are eliminated from the bloodstream. Ultimately, these secreted substances are excreted as part of urine.
Substances likely to be excreted from the body include waste products such as urea, carbon dioxide, and excess salts. Other excreted substances can include medications, toxins, and excess water. The excretory system, including the kidneys, liver, lungs, and skin, plays a crucial role in removing these substances to maintain internal balance.
The kidney is the organ primarily responsible for removing waste products from the body. It filters waste and excess substances from the blood to produce urine, which is then excreted from the body through the urethra.
Nephrons in the kidneys filter waste products such as urea, creatinine, uric acid, and excess electrolytes from the blood. These substances are then excreted in the form of urine.
