List, in order, all the structures the filtrate must flow through to get from the glomerulus to the outside of the body.

The glomerulus is a tiny structure which is made up of capillary blood vessels which filters the waste product from the blood to form urine.

The glomerulus makes the functional unit called the nephron. Each nephron is made up of structures through which urine passes in the following way :

1. Glomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule)- capsule surrounding the glomerulus where fluid and solutes are filtered out of the blood.

2. Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT) -  tube where water and salt reabsorption takes place.

3. The Loop of Henle- U-shaped tube which transfers the fluid from the proximal tubule to the distal tubule.

4. Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT)- tubule which is the final site of reabsorption in the nephron.

5. Collecting duct - duct which transfers the urine to the ureter.

6. Ureter- thin tube-like structures of 8 to 10 inches long which force urine to away from the kidney.

7. Urinary bladder- hollow, balloon-shaped organ stores urine for 3-5 hours.
