How does urine formed |
| Answer» Glomerular filtration is the first step in urine formation. Blood comes to the kidney via the renal artery, branches into even smaller arteries and eventually into the afferent arteriole. The afferent arteriole feeds into the glomerulus, providing the blood for the glomerular capillaries.As the blood travels through these capillaries, filtration causes a lot of the plasma contents to spill out. They spill out of the glomerular capillaries which end up within the glomerular capsule. The glomerular capsule is continuous with the rest of the renal tubules. The solution that spills out in the renal corpuscle is the solution that we will clean out to make urine. | |
