Composition of Plasma

The document compares the composition of plasma, nephric filtrate, and urine, listing representative values of components like urea, uric acid, glucose, amino acids, inorganic salts, and proteins. Urea, uric acid, and inorganic salts are more concentrated in urine than plasma or filtrate, while glucose, amino acids, and proteins are fully reclaimed and not present in urine. The values provided are typical ranges and can vary depending on salt and water intake.
