A2 Formation of Urine

CIE Syllabus

  • formation of urine is the function of the

    nephrons

  • what are the two stages in which urine formation occurs

    ultrafiltration and selective reabsorption

  • where does the process of ultrafiltration occur

    in the bowman's capsule

  • explain the process of ultrafiltration

    small molecules are filtered out of the blood capillaries of the glomerulus and into the bowman's capsule to form filtrate known as glomerular filtrate

  • what is the product material of ultrafiltration

    glomerular filtrate

  • where does the process of selective reabsorption occur

    in the proximal convoluted tubule

  • explain the process of selective reabsorption

    useful molecules are taken back from the filtrate and returned to the blood as the filtrate flows along the nephron

  • what blood components are filtered out of the blood during ultrafiltration

    water

    salts

    glucose

    urea

  • where does the selective reabsorption of glucose occur and by what process

    in the proximal convoluted tubule by active transport
