Question

13) This pressure facilitates filtration while urine is being formed....

a) filtrate hydrostatic pressure
b) osmotic blood pressure
c) capillary hydrostatic pressure
d) all of these​

Answer 1

Filtrate hydrostatic pressure

Answer 2

The pressure facilitates filtration while urine is being formed is (d) all of these.

• Filteration is carried out by the glomerular part of the nephron.
• The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney.
• Filtration by glomerular occurs due to hydrostatic pressure. this is known as filtrate hydrostatic pressure, osmotic blood pressure or capillary hydrostatic pressure.
• Glomerular has thin capillaries where filtration of blood takes place due to glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure.
• Hydrostatic pressure is pressure due to fluid. as blood is fluid so the pressure of blood above the glomerulus is known as blood hydrostatic pressure.
