Question

The volume of blood filtered by the kidneys is 1.18 dm3 per minute.
Calculate the total volume of blood filtered in 24 hours.
Show your working.

Answer 1

Answer:

180 litres

Explanation:

The total volume of blood passing through the kidneys is about 1200 mL per minute or about one-fourth of the entire cardiac output. As plasma passes through the  glomerulus, it loses more than 10% of its volume to the glomerular filtrate. The normal glomerular filtration rate amounts to about 180 liters (about 45 gallons) each 24 hours. This is 4.5 times the amount of fluid in the entire body. So, the correct answer is option D.

Answer 2

Answer:

180 liters

Explanation:

The total volume of blood passing through the kidney is about 12000ml .per minute or about one fourth of the entire cardiac output .As the plasma passes through glomerules, it loses more than of 10% of its volume to the glomerules filters. the normal glomerule fileteration rate amount to about 180 liter.(about 45 gallons )each 24 hours. this is 4.5 times the amount of fluid in the entire body

so the correct answer in option D
