- Nephron of the kidney (shown) - carries out filtration of blood
two things : Filtered blood (clean blood) and waste blood, Urine
- Urine emerges from bottom of tubule, goes into pelvic region.
Bowman's capsule - where filtration begins - Ultrafiltration
Filtration begins when blood comes in the Afferent arteriole the high pressure makes it wide.
- starts to branch into twists and coils - Glomerulus
- Blood vessel coming out, develops high pressure
- High pressure forces the liquid in blood (Plasma) out of the blood vessel into the inside of the Bowmans capsule
Blood has been filtered by pressure due to the smaller diameter arteriole, generating a high pressure in the glomerulus, forcing the liquid into the tube
