How is the blood filtered through the glomerulus into the proximal convoluted tubule?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood pressure is the process that causes filtration to occur in the glomerulus. The high pressure in the glomerular capillaries pushes water and small solutes out of the blood and into the Bowman's capsule, which then enters the proximal convoluted tubule. Diffusion, osmosis and active transport occur in different parts of the nephron but are not involved in the initial filtration process in the glomerulus.
