Question

name and explain the process that occurs in the glomerulus

Answer 1

Ultra Filtration is the process that occurs in the glomerulus.
The high hydrostatic pressure forces small molecules such as water, glucose, amino acids, sodium chloride and urea through the filter, from the blood in the glomerular capsule across the basement membrane of the Bowman's capsule and into the nephron. This process is called ultrafiltration

Answer 2

It is a part of the basic filtration unit Nephron of the kidney.

Inside Bowman's capsule there is a bundle of blood capillaries called glomerulus.
In the glomerular capillaries, the blood is filtered. The wall of Bowman's capsule is selectively permeable. It allows water molecules and other small sized molecules to pass through it. This forms glomerular filtrate which passes through the tubular portion of the Nephron.
