D) Moves through the nephrons and is absorbed or excreted
E) Flows into the renal pelvis and down the ureter
F) Drains into the bladder then out the urethra
A, B, C, D, E, F
Feedback:
There are three main steps with substeps in the complex process of forming urine. The glomerular filtration begins with filtering of the blood plasma by the glomerulus. Next, the filtrate enters Bowman's capsule and moves through the tubular system of the nephron and is either absorbed into circulation or excreted as urine. The formed urine drains from the collecting tubules into the renal pelvis and down each ureter to the bladder and out through the urethra.
