Answer: Urine

Step-by-step explanation:

The nephron is made up of a very small filter, this is called a glomerulus which is attached to a tubule. as blood passes through the nephron, fluid and waste are filtered out of the body. much of this fluid is then returned to the blood. while the waste products are released as an extra fluid, urine.
