Question

The process that pushes out water and other dissolved materials from blood in the glomerulus is

• A. Dialysis
• B. Secretion
• C. Filtration
• D. Ultrafiltration

Answer 1

The correct option is D Ultrafiltration

The blood in the glomerulus is filtered through minutes pores called filtration slits present in the wall of Bowman's capsule. This phenomenon is called glomerular filtration and the filtrate is called as glomerular filtrate. The relatively larger molecules like proteins cannot pass through minute pores but smaller particles like urea, water and other dissolved materials can pass through the filtration slits hence ultrafiltration. Hence, the process that pushes out water and other dissolved materials from blood in the glomerulus is 'Ultrafiltration'.

So, the correct answer is 'Ultrafiltration'.
