For filtration to take place through the fenestrated capillaries of the renal corpuscle,_____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filtration through fenestrated capillaries of the renal corpuscle depends on a higher pressure inside the glomerulus than in the renal tubules. This pressure gradient is responsible for filtering blood plasma into the Bowman's capsule of the nephron. A higher concentration of ions in the capillaries or a higher concentration of proteins in the renal tubule would not facilitate filtration, as they may hinder or impede the movement of substances through the glomerular filtration membrane. The presence of multiple capillary beds in the renal corpuscle is not relevant to filtration through fenestrated capillaries.
