Filters out molecules which are much smaller than RBC & plasma proteins Diameter of efferent glomerular capillaries is narrower than afferent capillaries causes hydrostatic pressure Forces all content of blood in the glomerulus into the lumen of Bowmans capsul (except plasma protein,WBC, RBC & platelets)

Filtrate moves into Descending limb. The epitelium of the decending arm is permeable to water but not for salt and other solutes. Reabsorption of water from tubule via osmosis.
At descending Loop of Henle, water moves by osmosis from the tubule into the blood can be analogy by downhill. Descending Loop of Henle only permeable to water molecules. The high water concentration at the tubule be a peak, and low water concentration of capillary be a kaki bukit. When people downhill, we does no need to expend energy for it to happen, same as osmosis.
TUBULE
CAPILLARY
Lower region of mountain : low concentration of water in blood capillaries and interstitial fluid
Ascending limb

COLLECTING DUCT
As the filtrate move down the collecting duct, the tissue fluid in the medulla surrounding get more and more concentrate
Peak of Mountain : High concentration gradient of water and urea in collecting duct.
Lower region of mountain : low concentration of water and ureain blood capillaries and interstitial fluid
Occur in the distal tubule and collecting duct Loop of Henle create the conditions in the medulla allowing secretion to occur Involve the pumping out of the waste products from blood capillaries into the tubules Substances (nitrogenous products) such as uric acid, H+, ammonia, urea eliminated by secretion through active transport
Some drugs & toxic substances are secreted out by simple diffusion Certain substances are added to tubule Glomerulus filtrate that reaches collecting duct urine (96% water, 2.5% nitrogenous products & 1.5% salts & other trace element) Urine is channeled out of collecting duct into pelvis, then out of kidney into the bladder by ureter & finally excreted out of the body through urethra
We throw away waste products from the kitchen to the dustbin outside secretion process
