(a) Urine formation: The dirty blood containing waste like urea enters the glomerulus which  filters the blood. During filtration, the substance like glucose, amino acids, salts, water, urea etc  present in the blood pass into Bowman’s capsule and then enter the tubule of nephron. When  the filtrate containing useful substances as well as the waste substances passes through the  tubule, the useful substances like glucose, amino acids, most salts and water are reabsorbed  into the blood through blood capillaries surrounding the tubule. Only the waste substances like  urea, some unwanted salts and excess water remains behind in the tubule. This yellowish  liquid is called urine.

(b) Urinary bladder.

(c) Urethra is a tube which passes out the urine from the body collected in the urinary bladder.
