Study Notes

Urinary System Physiology

Urine formation involves the process of glomerular filtration, which occurs in the glomerulus, a cluster of capillaries in the nephron.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

GFR measures the rate of urine formation, typically around 125 mL/min.
GFR is the movement of water and solutes from the glomerulus into Bowman's capsule, driven by blood pressure.
