Question

Glomerular filtration is a

• A. Selective process, and uses glomerular capillary blood pressure
• B. Non-selective process and uses capsular hydrostatic pressure
• C. Selective process and occurs actively with the expenditure of energy
• D. Non-selective process and uses glornerular capillary blood pressure

Answer 1

The correct option is A Selective process, and uses glomerular capillary blood pressure

The first step in urine formation is the filtration of blood, which is carried out by the glomerulus and is called glomerular filtration. Urine formation begins with glomerular filtration, which is a non-selective process in which fluids and solutes are forced through a membrane by capsular hydrostatic pressure.

So, the correct answer 'Option B'.
