Also called statute mile. a unit of distance on land in English-speaking countries equal to 5280 feet, or 1760 yards (1.609 kilometers).
Urine formation begins in the renal corpuscle, where blood passing through the glomerulus is filtered. Filtrates include water, ions, and other solutes, which are filtered out of the blood and into the capsular space to begin urine formation. Urine passes into the proximal convoluted tubule, then into the nephron loop.The nephron concentrates urine by the process of the countercurrent multiplication system.iltrates include water, ions, and other solutes, which are filtered out of the blood and into the capsular space to begin urine formation.

Renal tubule is also called the uriniferous tubule. It starts from the glomerulus capsule and ends at the renal papilla. Renal tubule is divided into four parts, namely the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.Each region has unique role in urine production.t starts from the glomerulus capsule and ends at the renal papilla.
