Starts off in the nephron then it goes through the glomerulus. The next step is the bowmans capsule. After that it goes through proximal convoluted tubule, then the loop of Henle and then the distal convoluted tubule. Next it goes through the collecting duct, then the minor calyx and then the major calyx. After that is the renal pelvis, then the ureter, then bladder, urethra and lastly the urethral orifice.
