Question

Find the correct statements about glomerular filtrate
I) Formed continuously through ultrafiltration of blood.
II) Amino acid and urea is not present in the lumen of Bowman’s capsule
III) Protein free fluid collects in the lumen of Bowman’s capsule
IV) Formed by the process of selective reabsorption.

• A. I, II and III
• B. III and IV
• C. I and III
• D. II and IV

Answer 1

The correct option is C I and III

Glomerular filtrate is formed continuously by ultrafiltration through semi permeable glomerular capillaries.
Blood is filtered finely through the membranes (the endothelium of glomerular blood vessels, the epithelium of Bowman’s capsule and a basement membrane between these two layers), that almost all the constituents of the plasma except the proteins passes into the lumen of the Bowman’s capsule.
Amino acid and urea pass through the filtration membranes during ultrafiltration and are present in the lumen of bowman’s capsule.
