2.76 understand that urine contains water, urea and salts

In the beginning of the ultrafiltration/reabsorption process water, urea, salts and glucose are 'squeezed' our of the blood due to high pressure. However, during reabsorption all of the glucose (and a little bit of water and salts) is reabsorbed. Everything that remains in the glomerulus filtrate (water, urea and salts) is combined to form urine.
