The glomerular capillaries cause filtration of blood through _____ layers -

Which of the following statements about the glomerular filtration is CORRECT ? I. The hydrostatic pressure of blood in glomerular capillaries allows filtration. II. The diameter of the efferent arteriole is lesser than the diameter of the afferent arteriole. III. The fluid collected in the urinary space contains all constitution of blood except RBCs. IV. The net filtration pressure at the glomerulus is around 40 mm Hg.

Refer to the given figure showing structure of Malpighian corpuscle. To facilitate ultrafiltration through glomerular capillaries "______"

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

Read the following statements regarding various steps of urine formation. A. Blood flows through glomerular capillaries under a pressure created due to difference in diameter of afferent and efferent arterioles. B. Filtrate formed after ultrafiltration is isotonic to blood plasma. C. Reabsorption of glucose occurs throughout the tubules of nephron. D.Selective tubular secretion of H and K ions help in maintaining ionic balance of body. Select the option having only correct statements

Assertion A. The process of filtration takes place in malpighian corpuscles Reason R. The total blood pressure is very high in glomerular capillaries

The increase in osmolarity from outer to inner medullary interstitium is maintained due to : (i) Close proximity between Henle's loop and vasa recta (ii) Counter current mechanism (iii) Selective secretion of HCO 3¯ and hydrogen ions in PCT (iv) Higher blood pressure in glomerular capillaries
