Question

Glomerular capillaries are ________ times more permeable to water.

• A. $5000$
• B. $6000$
• C. $9000$
• D. $10,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5000$

The glomerulus is a tuft of small blood vessels called capillaries located within Bowman's capsule within the kidney. Glomerular mesangial cells structurally support the tufts. Blood enters the capillaries of the glomerulus by a single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole. Glomerular capillaries are 5000 times more permeable to water.

So, the correct option ‘5000’.
