What is glomerular filtration?

Define Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)

Assertion: The kidneys have built in mechanisms for the regulation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Reason: ANF mechanism is one such efficient mechanism.

Assertion (A) : Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the volume of filtrate formed min-' in all nephrons (glomerulus) of both the kidneys. Reason (R) : In adults the GFR is approximately 120-125 mL/min.

Glomerular filtrate contains

(a) Glomerular blood pressure - 55 mmHg (b) Glomerular filtration rate - 120-125 ml/min (c) Colloidal Osmotic pressure - 30 mmHg (d) Capsular hydrostatic pressure - 20 mmHg

Which of the following will lead to an increase in glomerular fluid filtration in the kidneys?

Write about the forces that promote and oppose glomerular filtration. Define GFR and give the normal GFR value in adults.

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