All of the following affect net filtration pressure EXCEPT
A) blood pressure in the glomerulus
B) hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule
C) blood pressure in the peritubular capillaries
D) osmotic pressure in the blood of the glomerulus

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net filtration pressure in the kidneys is primarily determined by factors directly influencing the glomerulus and the glomerular capsule. Blood pressure in the peritubular capillaries, which are involved in the reabsorption process occurring after filtration, does not directly affect the initial filtration process in the glomerulus.
