About 180 L of fluid is filtered out but 178-179 get reabsorbed in the tubules so 1-2 L gets excreted as urine on a daily basis.

The knot of blood vessels is called the glomerulus. This filters the fluid that will become urine. It will keep much of the water back.


What process occurs in the Bowman's capsule?

Bowmans capsule is part of the functioanl unit of the kidney called the nephron. The kidney job in the body is to filter blood and remove wastes via the urine. At the very start of each nephron is a very smalle blood network called the glomerulus. The diameter pf the vessel leaving the glomerulus (the efferent vessel) is smaller than that coming to the glomerulus (the afferent vessel) and so a large pressure occurs. This helps push the wastes as well as some nutrients and a lot of water out of the glomerulus. To stop if all just floating of into the body a a structue surround the glomerulus and takes up all the thing the glomerulus lets out. This is the glomerulus and it passes what it gets on through the vessels of the nephron where much is reabsorbed and the rest is excreted as urine.


Blood filters through the kidneys at a rate of 125ml per min.how many mil filter through the kidneys in a hour?

If the kidney filters 125ml of blood per minute, then you simply have to multiply 125 x 60 to find the answer of how much it filters in an hour. The answer is 7,500ml of blood.

How does the tissue of the kidneys structure to aid in filtration?

Function * Ultrafiltiration: the process by which fluid is filtered out of the blood by the glomerulus. * The blood pressure in a glomerulus causes part of the blood plasma to leak through the capillary walls. The red blood cells and plasma proteins are too big to pass out of the capillary, so the fluid that does filter through is plasma without the protein. The fluid thus consists mainly of water with dissolved salts, glucose, urea and uric acid. * Selective Reabsorption: the process of absorbing back the substances needed by the body. * The filtrate from the glomerulus collects in the renal capsule and trickles down the renal tubule. * As it does so, the capillaries which surround the tubule absorb the substance the body needs back into the blood. * ** The glucose is reabsorbed with much of the water. ** Some of the salts are taken back to keep the correct concentration in the blood. ** *** Salts not needed by the body are left to pass down the kidney tubule with the urea and uric acid. *** They continue down the renal tubule into the pelvis of the kidney, passes down the ureter and to the bladder.

What is the role of creatinine?

Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism that is excreted at a constant rate by the kidneys. It is a useful indication of kidney function and can be used to calculate the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) that indicates how much fluid is filtered by a glomerulus (filtration unit of the kidney) per minute/hour etc.


Do any of the water filters filter out flouride?

Most filters are carbon filters, so they won't filter out much flouride. For that, you'll need a more robust filter.
