If glomerular hydrostatic pressure is 60 mm Hg,glomerular osmotic pressure is 32 mm Hg,and capsular hydrostatic pressure is 18 mm Hg,the net filtration pressure is _____ mm Hg.
A) 64
B) 10
C) 20
D) 46
E) 28

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net filtration pressure is calculated as glomerular hydrostatic pressure minus the sum of glomerular osmotic pressure and capsular hydrostatic pressure: 60 - (32 + 18) = 10 mm Hg.

If Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure Is 60 Mm Hg,glomerular Osmotic Pressure
