Glomerular filtration occurs by active transport of Na⁺, which then creates an osmotic gradient for the filtration of water.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glomerular filtration occurs by passive filtration (not active transport) of small molecules like water, glucose, salts and urea through the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule, which then creates an osmotic gradient for the filtration of water. The formula mentioned in the question does not accurately represent the process of glomerular filtration.
