11. Filtration Process

12. • Glomerular Filtration
• Reabsorption
• Secretion

13. Glomerular
Filtration
The process we’re
the kidneys filter
the blood by
removing waste
and extra water to
make urine.

14. Reabsorption
Involves the
absorption of
molecules, ions, and
water that are
necessary for the body
to maintain
homeostasis from the
glomerular filtrate
back into the blood.

15. Secretion
Occurs in the
proximal tubule
section of the
nephron, is
responsible for the
transport of certain
molecules out of the
blood and into the
urine.

16. Function of the
Ureters, Bladder, and
Urethra

17. Ureters
The Ureters is a tube
that transports urine
from the kidney to the
bladder in the human
body. They play a
crucial role in the
urinary system by
facilitating the one-
way flow of urine,
helping to eleminate
waste and excess
fluids from the body.

18. Bladder
The Bladder is a
muscular organ that
stores urine before it
is expelled from the
body. Its primary
function is to collect
and temporarily hold
urine that is
transported by the
ureter produced by
the kidneys.

19. Urethra
The Urethra is a tube
that connects the
bladder and the final
passageway for the
flow of urine. The
urethra serves as a
tube that allows the
removal of urine from
the body.
