The filtrate is converted into urine primarily in the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. This process occurs mainly in the renal tubules, where selective reabsorption and secretion take place. As the filtrate passes through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct, water, electrolytes, and waste products are adjusted, resulting in the formation of urine. Ultimately, urine is collected in the renal pelvis before being excreted from the body.
What else can I help you with?
Is water concentration in urine the same as glomerular filtrate or greater?
The water concentration in urine is generally lower than that in glomerular filtrate. During the filtration process in the kidneys, glomerular filtrate contains a high concentration of water, but as it passes through the renal tubules, water is reabsorbed, leading to a more concentrated urine. Therefore, urine typically has a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water compared to the initial glomerular filtrate.
How does urine differ from the original filtrate?
From the original filtrate, a lot of much needed electrolytes (Sodium e.t.c) are reabsorbed (absorbed back into blood), a few substances secreted further into the urine, then loads of water reabsorbed to fine tune body water to exactly how much you need(as much as possible), making urine far more concentrated than the original filtrate.
Where does secretion of substances into the filtrate occur?
Secretion of substances into the filtrate occurs primarily in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct in the nephron of the kidney. This process helps in regulating the composition of the urine by removing additional substances from the blood and adding them to the filtrate for excretion.
What is tubular filtration?
Tubular filtration is the process in the kidneys where blood is filtered through the glomerulus of the nephron to form filtrate. This filtrate contains water, ions, and small molecules that will eventually be reabsorbed or excreted as urine.
Why is urine a more concentrated soloution than the glomerular filtrate?
Urine is a more concentrated solution than glomerular filtrate because of the reabsorption processes that occur in the renal tubules. As the filtrate passes through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule, water and essential solutes like glucose and ions are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, while waste products and excess solutes remain in the filtrate. This selective reabsorption leads to a decrease in water content and an increase in solute concentration, resulting in the formation of concentrated urine. Additionally, the collecting ducts can further concentrate urine under the influence of hormones like antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
Difference between filtrate and urine?
Until the liquid reaches the renal pelvis, it is "glomerular filtrate," when it reaches the pelvis, it is called "urine"
WhaT is the difference between filtrate and urine?
The main difference between filtrate and urine is the chemical composition of the two. Filtrate has almost all the substance that blood plasma has except blood proteins while urine only contains waste substances.
What the difference between filtrate and urine?

What percent of filtrate becomes urine?
1 %
What structure of the kidney receives urine first?
In fact, the kidney dose not receives the urine but it produces the urine by receiving the filtrate from the blood vessels . and the first part wich receives the filtrate is the " glomerus"
When less glomerular filtrate is formed what kind of urine is formed?
less urine is formed
Where does filtrate become a highly concentrated urine?
In the renal pelvis
What are two substances that are found in the filtrate but not in the urine?
Ions and nutrients
Substances absent from filtrate and urine?
Blood, proteins, and sugars are absent from the filtrate and urine of a healthy adult. If any of these are present it is a sign that something is not right and should be addressed right away.
What structure conveys the processed filtrate urine to the renal pelvis?
ureter
In what way is the nephron's filtrate different from urine?
i don`t know
What are two substances that are routinely found in filtrate but not in the urine product?
Ions and nutrients
