Stage 1

Ultrafiltration occurs due to high hydrostatic pressure. Water and small molecules are forced out of the glomerulus capillaries into the renal capsule.

2

New cards

Stage 2

Selective reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule.

3

New cards

Stage 3/4

The loop of Henle maintains a sodium ion gradient so water can be reabsorbed by the blood.

New cards

Stage 5/6

Water moves out of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to return back to the blood. The collecting duct then carries the remaining liquid (urine) to the ureter.
