Small molecules such as water, ions, glucose, amino acids, and nitrogenous wastes like urea and creatinine leave the glomerulus and enter the glomerular capsule through a process called filtration. Large proteins and cells are typically too large to pass through and are retained in the bloodstream.
Water, ions, nutrients, and waste products like urea and creatinine leave the glomerulus and enter the glomerular capsule through the process of ultrafiltration in the initial stages of urine formation in the kidney.
Protein is typically absent in glomerular filtrate and urine due to the selective permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier, which consists of endothelial cells, a basement membrane, and podocytes. These structures prevent large molecules like proteins from passing through while allowing smaller molecules and water to filter through. Additionally, any small amounts of protein that may enter the filtrate are usually reabsorbed by renal tubules before urine formation. Therefore, healthy kidneys maintain minimal to no protein levels in urine.
The body part that filters blood and wastes before they enter the kidney is the nephron. Each kidney contains approximately one million nephrons, which consist of a glomerulus that filters blood and a tubule that processes the filtrate to reabsorb necessary substances and excrete waste. The glomerulus acts as the initial filtration unit, allowing water, ions, and small molecules to pass while retaining larger molecules like proteins and blood cells.
Blood enters the nephron first. It enters through the afferent arteriole into the glomerulus, where filtration takes place to form the initial filtrate.

Filtration
Water, ions, nutrients, and waste products like urea and creatinine leave the glomerulus and enter the glomerular capsule through the process of ultrafiltration in the initial stages of urine formation in the kidney.
The renal corpuscle filtration barrier is composed of: the fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillaries, the fused basal lamina of endothelial cells and podocytes, and the filtration slits of the podocytes.
Blood plasma enters the nephron through the glomerulus in the Bowman's capsule. This plasma is filtered through the nephron's tubules, where water and small molecules are selectively reabsorbed, while waste products and excess substances are excreted as urine.

When the capsule begins to enter the atmosphere, the friction of the air on the bottom, or heat sheild, of the capsule creates so much heat that it looks like it is on fire.

amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.

Drugs can enter the blood stream by a number of ways: Swallowing Smoking Snorted Injected Suppositried (inserted through he anus, as a capsule,etc)
