Question

Read the following statements carefully and choose which is not incorrect :-

• A. On an average $1100-1200ml$ of blood is filtered by one kidney per minute.
• B. Both kidneys can filter roughly $1/5^{th}$ of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a second.
• C. $GFR$ in a healthy individual is approximately $125ml/min$ .
• D. Glucose is absent in Glomerular filtrate.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Both kidneys can filter roughly $1/5^{th}$ of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a second.

Around 180 litres of liquid are sifted by the kidneys consistently. Subsequently, the whole plasma volume (around 3 litres) is separated 60 times each day! Filtration is fundamentally determined by water-powered weight (circulatory strain) in the vessels of the glomerulus.

So, the correct option is 'Both kidneys can filter roughly 1/5th of the blood pumped out by each ventricle of the heart in a second'.
