Copyright http://www.engin.umich.edu/~CRE/web_mod/viper/kidney_function.htm When blood enters the glomerulus, it is filtered and the remaining fluid then passes along the tubule. In the tubule, chemicals and water are either added to or removed from this filtered fluid according to the body's needs. Waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine.
Just Remember that the kidneys function to:
1. remove waste products from the body
2. concentrate and dilute urine
3. for absorption
4. maintaining body fluids and electrolytes
5. maintains blood pressure by releasing hormones
6. convert vitamin D from food sources or sunlight to its active form, calcitriol to absorb calcium
