Refer to Figure 8. This figure shows details of the kidney. Fill in the following blanks to describe the process of urine production. Numbers from the figure do NOT need to be included for credit. Blood must first enter the kidney through the (specific blood vessel) at the renal pelvis. Urine begins forming when plasma is filtered through the (specific blood vessel). Metabolically important molecules are first reabsorbed into the body along the (part of the nephron). From there, the fluid moves into a section of the nephron which only allows reabsorption of water. This is countered by electrolyte reabsorption in the (part of the nephron). Finally, fluid from multiple nephrons is collected into the (part of the nephron) where final modifications to the urine are made, including pH adjustments using the enzyme .
