Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The glomerular capillary membrane is approximately 100 times more permeable than other capillaries.It acts as a high-efficiency sieve and normally allows only substances with a certain molecular weight to cross.Normal glomerular filtrate is basically protein free and contains electrolytes,including sodium,chloride,and phosphate,and nitrogenous waste products,such as creatinine,urea,and uric acid,in amounts similar to those in plasma.Red blood cells,albumin,and globulin are too large to pass through the healthy glomerular membrane.
