The net pressure gradient that causes the fluid to filter out of the glomeruli into the capsule is

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

(i) Glomerular capillary pressure (60 mm Hg) favours filteration.(ii) The colloidal osmotic pressure (due to plasma proteins, particularly albumin) acts against filtration. Its value is ∼ 32 m m H g . (iii) The filtrate pressure due to the glomerular filtrate filled in the Bowman’s capsule also acts against filtration. Its value is ∼ 18 m m H g . Net filtration pressure = 60 − (32+18 ) m m H g = 10 m m o f H g
