three steps of urine formation by the kidneys
GTT
Glomerular filtration
Tubular reabsorption
Tubular secretion
26
Glomerular filtration process
The water or solute go to the
glomerular capsule and
becomes glomerular filtrate
27
Tubular reabsorption process
The glomerular filtrate goes into the kidney tubules, then into peritubular capillaries where 1% stays in the tubules and becomes urine
28
Tubular secretion process

- There is an elimination of potassium ion, hydrogen, ammonia and uric acid
- Usually only few substances are secreted and typically these are waste products
- Urine is the substance left over inthe collecting dock, following
secretion and reabsorption

276
what specifically happens during voiding cystourethrogram?
So this is done in a special room
with an x-ray or ultrasound machine. After performing the sterile technique, the physician will insert a catheter into the bladder through the small opening of the urethra
where the urine usually comes out. This might feel
uncomfortable but when the catheter is in place, the rest
of the test is usually painless. The catheter is used to fill the bladder with a contrast material and as the bladder fills, it is viewed on the screen and pictures are taken. The patient will start to feel the need to urinate as the bladder gets full. Even though that kind of sensation takes place, then the patient is still expected to hold it in until the bladder is full, then, afterwards the patient is asked to urinate. The movement of the contrast material in the urinary system is seen on the screen and pictures are taken. When the bladder is empty, the catheter is then removed
