Question
Chapter 33, Problem 2PIT
Summary Introduction
To add:
The terms glomerulus, proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule to the concept map.
Concept introduction:
The urinary system is responsible for removal of harmful substances from the body by the process of excretion. The process results in formation of urine, which is formed in the nephrons of the kidneys.
