Where does filtration occur in the nephron?
Answers
The process through which the glomerular filtration takes place is known as the renal ultrafiltration.
The force that occurs due to the hydrostatic pressure on the glomerulus (the force that gets exerted through the pressure created by the blood vessels itself) is the main reason why the force helps in filtrating out the capillaries and in the nephron.
The part of the Nephron in which the filtration occurs is called the Glomerulus.
A nephron is composed of the "Bowman's capsule" and the "Loop of Henle". The dynamic "physical forces" determine the single "nephron glomerular filtration". Here the Malpighian capsule or Glomerulus are placed in the Bowman's capsule where the filtration occurs.
Malpighian capsule consists of connecting capillaries and forms the major portion of the glomerulus.
