Also called statute mile. a unit of distance on land in English-speaking countries equal to 5280 feet, or 1760 yards (1.609 kilometers).
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.

Urine is formed in the kidneys, specifically by the renal tubules in the nephrons of the kidneys. It then is collected by the renal pelvis, where it exits though the ureters, moves to the bladder where it is stored until urination, during which it is expelled through the urethra.iltration is also accomplished by the movement of fluids from the blood into the Bowman's capsule.. (The Formation of Urine). The second process is reabsorption, the essential solutes and water from the nephron back into the blood.. (Jennings). Finally, the last process of forming urine, secretion.
