Filtration
Filtration is when the water throughout the cell membrane is transported because of the
hydrostatic force in the cardiovascular system. Blood enters the arteriole and drifts into the
glomerulus. Blood in the glomerulus has together filterable blood components and non-
filterable blood components. Filterable blood components transfer near the internal of the
glomerulus whereas non-filterable blood components avoid the filtration process by
departing through the arteriole. Also no filterable blood components contain made
elements such as blood cells and plasma like form named glomerular filtrate. Here is an
example of filtration in the human body, which is throughout the renal filtration. Blood is
filtered in the glomerulus which is a small blood vessel that is passed through the tubules of
the nephron so that essential substances such as cells and proteins that can be reabsorbed
by the body.

Absorption

Absorption is a procedure that is used to absorb substances into the cells, tissues and
organs by diffusion or osmosis as it takes it back to the blood filled capillaries. The process
for absorption of nutrients is by the digestive system as the kidney reabsorbs the molecules
which are required back into the bloodstream. This reabsorption process lets water to
permit from the glomerular filtrate back into the circulatory system. Glucose and a number
of amino acids are also reabsorbed. If too far glucose appears in the glomerular filtrate, it
raises the osmolality of the filtrate, producing water to be free into the urine rather than
reabsorbed by the circulatory system.

Describe how reabsorption occurs in each of the main sites.

The urinary system of the lower abdomen contains of all the main organs such as lungs,
intestine and skin to control and sustain the balance of chemicals and water in our body.
The system focuses in filtering wastes from the blood stream and when this is completed it
removes the waste from the blood in the form of urine. The waste that is created by the
body cells is excess ions and metabolic wastes, these have to be disconnected, if not they
can most definitely become toxic substances. This can cause poison to form, which can
finally increase through the body. The system works with diverse parts of the body. Each
person inclines dissimilar volume of urine each day; this alters on the quantity of fluid that is
consumed by the person and the fluids lost throughout breathing
