Urine formation begins in the renal corpuscle, where blood passing through the glomerulus is filtered. Filtrates include water, ions, and other solutes, which are filtered out of the blood and into the capsular space to begin urine formation. Urine passes into the proximal convoluted tubule, then into the nephron loop.The nephron concentrates urine by the process of the countercurrent multiplication system.iltrates include water, ions, and other solutes, which are filtered out of the blood and into the capsular space to begin urine formation.

Im really confused as to where in the nephron of the kidney each of the three steps of urine formation occur. the steps include: 1. glomerular filtration. 2. tubular reabsorption. 3.tubular secretion.hereas reabsorption moves substances out of the tubules and into the blood, secretion moves substances out of the blood and into the tubules where they mix with the water and other wastes and are converted into urine. Hope this helped.
