Question 1
The urinary system's main organs are kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Kidneys filter blood, ureters carry urine to bladder, bladder stores it, and urethra eliminates it.
Step1: Identify the start
The process of blood filtration starts with blood entering the kidney (b).
Step2: Next step
After blood enters kidney, water and waste go into nephron (c).
Step3: Then
Nephrons separate water and waste (d).
Step4: Final step
Water is put back in blood (a).
Blood going into kidney has more water. When blood enters kidney, water is filtered into nephrons. Some water is reabsorbed, but initially, incoming blood has more water as it hasn't undergone filtration - reabsorption yet.
