When a nurse is checking the urinalysis,plasma proteins should be absent from the urine because:
A) All proteins filtered are subsequently reabsorbed.
B) All of the plasma proteins are too large to fit through the filtration slits.
C) All proteins filtered are subsequently degraded before elimination.
D) The negative charge of the glomerular filtration membrane repels the plasma proteins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Like other capillary membranes,the glomerulus is freely permeable to water and relatively impermeable to large colloids,such as plasma proteins.The molecule's size and electrical charge affect the permeability of substances crossing the glomerulus.
Proteins are not filtered because the negative charge of the glomerulus repels them.
Proteins are not filtered because the negative charge of the glomerulus repels them.It is not only because of their size.
Proteins are not filtered because the negative charge of the glomerulus repels them.It is not because of degradation.
