1. Describe the process of urine formation by using these following terms;

● ULTRAFILTRATION Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane
filtration in which forces like pressure or concentration gradients
lead to a separation through a semipermeable membrane. ...
Ultrafiltration membranes are defined by the molecular weight cut-off
(MWCO) of the membrane used.

● SELECTIVE REABSORPTION→ Having filtered out small essential

molecules from the blood - the kidneys must reabsorb the molecules
which are needed, while allowing those molecules which are not
needed to pass out in the urine. Therefore, the kidneys selectively
reabsorb only those molecules which the body needs back in the
bloodstream.
