    After being squeezed out of the glomerulus and into the bowman's capsule, this liquid can no longer be called blood because most of the blood's components such as red blood cells aren't present here. It goes by the name filtrate. This filtrate enters the nephron where 2 processes take place in order for it to take the name of urine. These processes are pressure filtration and reabsorbtion. This filtrate first passes through the proximal convulated tubule where glucose is reabsorbed by a blood capillary. It then goes through the loop of hevele where most salts and some water is reabsorbed. Further absorption of salts occurs in the last convulated tubule. After that, the filtrate enters the collecting duct where water is reabsorbed into the blood capillaries. After all this reabsorbtion, the filtrate is now called urine.
