Study Notes
Urine Formation Process
- Urine formation involves three main stages: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion.
Glomerular Filtration
- The fluid portion of the blood is filtered by the glomerulus of the kidney, marking the beginning of urine formation.
- This stage takes place in the glomerulus of the kidney.
