Describe the three stages of urine production. Be sure to include how each stage relates to the structure of the nephron and why the composition of urine reveals information regarding the health of the body.

Urine is considered to be a true reflection of bodily health because it releases metabolites not necessary for our body.

In some situations, other solutes or secretions are eliminated since they are increasing or are a sign of pathologies.

Clear examples of these situations are: increased protein in urine, presence of hematocrit in urine, presence of glucose in urine, etc.

The three phases of urine formation are: glomerular filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.

Explanation:

The glomerulus and the nephron are responsible for the formation of urine.

Faced with certain pathologies such as diabetes, leukemias, urogenital infections, ketoacidosis, hypercapnia, increased ketone bodies, hyperproteinemias, etc., it is urine that reflects this state of imbalance in the body.

The glomerulus is a filter that is in charge of filtering in a meticulous way those residues of our organism, it releases the unnecessary residues and the chemical compounds or molecules or even cells in excess.

Glomerular filtration is higher or lower in terms of the volume of the afferent and efferent arteries of the renal glomerulus, and the pressures these vessels have within them.

This is how it correlates with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, blood pressure, lungs, nutritional levels, and the overall health of the body.
