Question

Collectively, the materials eliminated from the nephron are called ____.​
A) ​electrolytes
B) ​urine
C) ​renin
D) ​filtrate

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The materials eliminated from the nephron are ultimately excreted as urine. While electrolytes are eliminated in the process, not all of the eliminated substances are electrolytes. Renin is a hormone produced by the kidneys, not a substance eliminated through the nephron. Filtrate refers to the fluid and solutes that are initially filtered from the blood in the nephron, before further reabsorption and secretion occurs. It is not the final product eliminated from the nephron.
