The three major steps involved in the production of urine are :
(a) Ultrafiltration : The liquid part of blood flows through the glomerulus under great pressure and filter out into the renal tubule.
(b) Selective Reabsorption : Reabsorption the selected useful substances like water, glucose, mineral ions etc. from glomerular filtrate.
(c) Tubular Secretion : The secretion of harmful substances like K+, drugs from the blood into the nephric filtrate through the walls of distal convoluted tubule.
