What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure were increased above normal?
A)Net filtration would increase above normal.
B)Filtration would increase in proportion to the increase in capsular pressure.
C)Net filtration would decrease.
D)Capsular osmotic pressure would compensate so that filtration would not change.

An increase in capsular hydrostatic pressure would exert more pressure on the glomerular capillaries, making it more difficult for fluid to filtrate out into the Bowman's capsule. As a result, net filtration would decrease.
