What is meant by glomerular filtrate?

Read the following statements and choose the correct option (i) Glomerular filtration rate in a healthy individual is about 180 ml/day (ii) All constituents of plasma pass into lumen of Bowman's capsule (iii) 70 - 80% of electrolystes and water are absorbed in PCT (iv) Angiotensin II increases the glomerular blood pressure and GFR (v) Counter current system contribute in concentrating the filtrate

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

Which of the following is most likely to cause an increase in the glomerular filtration rate?
