What does the glomerulus filter?
Answers
Answer:
here is your answer ⤵️
➡️ The amount of filtrate formed by kidneys per minute is called glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which is 125 ml/minute.
➡️ Glomerular Filtration rate is controlled by Juxta glomerular apparatus (JGA).
➡️ 99% of filtrate has to be reabsorbed by renal tubules called reabsorption.
Nephron is the structural and functional unit of kidney.
In the physical phase of urine formation , Afferent renal arteriole (ARA) brings blood to the bowman capsule of nephron and this is carried away by efferent renal arteriole (ERA).
Bowman capsule walls are porous and has fenestra slit through which the 10 percent of blood from ARA passes into it as three pressure acting upon it and rest of the blood is carried away by ERA. The blood which is present in bowman capsule forms glomerulus filterate . It is also known as nephric filterate. It doen't have clotting property and lacks plama protein.
