    Protein-free fluid is filtered from blood plasma into the Bowman’s capsule

    Protein free fluid is filtered from blood plasma into the Bownman's capsule.

    High blood pressure is maintained in glomeruli than in other capillaries because (a) The variability of the diameters of arterioles causes higher resistance to blood flowing out of the glomeruli than that flowing out of the capillaries (b) Glomerulus has low hydrostatic pressure than capillary (c) Capillary has lesser diameter than glomerulus (d) All the above
