Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Glomerular filtrate is the plasma fluid Bowman’s capsule of nephron is called glomerular filtrate. It is a non colloidal part and possesses urea, water, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, fatty acid etc.
RBC, WBC, Platelets and plasma proteins are the colloidal part of the blood and do not filtered out from glomerulus.
Glomerulus filtrate = Blood – (Blood cells + Plasma protein).

Assertion : Squamous epithelium helps in glomerular filtration. Reason : It forms inner lining of Bowmen's capsule.

Assertion :- Ultrafiltration takes place in presence of effective filtration pressure . Reason :- In ultrafiltratio process blood is filtered In bowman's capsule, filtered fluid contain protein & Blood corpuscles also

Assertion A : In dializer the plasma proteins of the blood, cannot be filtered but molecules like urea, uric acid, creatinine and ions can be filtered Reason R: The cellophane membrane used in dializer is permeable to macromolecules but impermeable to micromolecules

Find the correct answer about glomerular filtrate 1. Formed continuously through ultrafilration of blood 2. Liquid free fluid collects in the lumen of Bowman's capsule 3. Protein free fluid collects in the lumen of Bowman's capsule 4. formed by process of selective reabsorption

Glomerular filtrate is 1. formed continuously by the process of ultrafiltration occurring at Malpighian corpuscles, in which the blood cells and the colloidal macromolecules are not allowed to pass across the filtering surface 2. the electrolyte free fluid collected within the lumen of Bawman's capsule 3. the protein free fluid collected within the lumen of Bowman's capsule 4. formed by the process of selective reabsorption

Assertion :- Complex molecules like protein are received in cell by the process of endocytosis. Reason:- Pore size of plasma membrane facilitates the entry of macromolecules in cell.

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
