Answer 17

uletrfiltration and selective reabsorbtion

Question 18

what is ulterfiltration

Answer 18

the filtering of substances out of the blood and into long tubules that surround the capillaries

Question 19

what is selective reabsorbtion

Answer 19

where useful substances such as blood glucose and the right amount of water are reabsorbed back into the blood
