Summary Introduction
To add:
The terms water, salts, toxins, and urine to the concept map.
Concept introduction:
Urine formation is the process in which, toxic substances from the body are secreted to the nephron and the important salts and amino acids along with water are reabsorbed in the blood. Tubular filtration, absorption, and secretion result in the formation of urine.
