Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bowman's capsule has a hydrostatic pressure that opposes the filtration pressure, which pushes fluid out of the glomerular capillaries and into Bowman's capsule. The other pressures listed (glomerular capillary pressure, osmotic pressure of the medulla of the kidney, and blood pressure) are all factors that contribute to the filtration pressure.
