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.

In the kidney, a tubular structure called the nephron filters blood to form urine. At the beginning of the nephron, the glomerulus /É¡lÉËmÉrÉlÉs/ is a network (tuft) of c â¦ apillariesthat performs the first step of filtering blood.The glomerulus is surrounded by Bowman's capsule. The blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule.The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron.t the beginning of the nephron, the glomerulus /É¡lÉËmÉrÉlÉs/ is a network (tuft) of c â¦ apillariesthat performs the first step of filtering blood.
