What Starling force, which drives fluid out of the glomerulus, is relatively high (~60 mm Hg) due to the resistance of the efferent arterioles?
A) glomerular filtration
B) glomerular oncotic
C) Bowman's capsule hydrostatic
D) Bowman's capsule oncotic
E) glomerular capillary hydrostatic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure is the primary force driving fluid out of the glomerulus into Bowman's capsule. This pressure is relatively high (~60 mm Hg) due to the resistance provided by the efferent arterioles, which helps to maintain a strong pressure gradient for filtration.
