iv) Formation of hypertonic Urine |
75% of water content of nephric filtrate is reabsorbed in the region |
of proximal convoluted tubule. 10% of water passes out of filtrate through |
osmosis in the area of loop of Henle. Further concentration of urine takes |
place in the area of collecting tubes in the presence of hormone called |

iii) Tubular secretion: It is |
the active secretion of waste |
products by blood capillaries |
into the urinary tubule. It |
ensures removal of all the |
waste products from blood, |
viz., urea, uric acid, creatinine, |
LA salt ions like K+, Na+ and H+ |
ions. This maintance proper |
concentration and pH of urine. |

2. Ureters |
There are a pair of whitish, narrow distensible and muscular tubes of |
30cm length. Each ureter arises from hilus of the kidney. It moves |
downward and obliquely opens into the urinary bladder. Ureter carries urine |
from the kidney to the urinary bladder. The movement of urine in the ureter |
is through peristalysis. |
