High blood pressure is maintained in glomeruli than in other capillaries because

The Glomerular capillary blood pressure causes filtration of blood through ?

Although blood flows through large arteries at high pressure, when the blood reaches small capillaries the pressure decreases because-

Three capillaries of length L, (L)/(2) and (L)/(3) are connected in a series. Their radii are r, (r)/(2) and (r)/(3) respectively. If a streamlined flow is to be maintained and pressure difference across the first capillary is rho , then the pressure difference across the second capillary will be

A glass capillary tube of inner diameter 0.28 mm is lowered vertically into water in a vessel. The pressure to be applied on the water in the capillary tube so that water level in the tube is same as the vessel in (N)/(m^(2)) is (surface tension of water =0.07(N)/(m) atmospheric pressure =10^(5)(N)/(m^(2))

The glomerular capillary blood pressure causes filtration of blood through three layers in a sequence of

Assertion: Glomerular filtration requires expenditure of energy bu kidney. Reason: Glomerular filtration occurs because pressure in the glomerular capillaries is lower than the pressure in Bowman's capsule
