The net pressure gradient that causes the fluid to filter out of the glomeruli into the capsule is

Options

A. 20 mmHg
B. 75 mmHg
C. 30 mmHg
D. 50 mmHg

Answer

A

Explanation

Kidneys help in the formation of urine, from the blood flowing through glomerualer capillaries. About 20% of plasma fluid filters out into the Bowman's capsule through a thin glomeruar-capsular membrane due to a net or effective filtration of about 10-15 mm Hg. So it is the neraest option (a) which is correct.
