Question

STATE TWO FEATURES IN THE NEPHRON THAT FACILITATE ULTRA-FILTRATION

Answer 1

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

Answer:

the glomerular wall and Bowman's cupsule walls are semi permeable & The efferent arteriole is smaller than the afferent arteriole hence creates back pressure that facilitates ultrafiltration
