How is the amount of urine produced regulated?
Answer
A nephron has tube-like structures called tubules which have capillaries wound around them.
- In the tubule, all useful substances get reabsorbed whereas harmful substances (urea, unwanted salts, excess water ) remain in the tubule.
- Hence tubular reabsorption of water in the tubule is used to regulate the amount of urine produced.
