For filtration to occur, (blood osmotic pressure + capsular hydrostatic pressure) must be less than blood hydrostatic pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filtration occurs when the net filtration pressure (NFP), which is determined by subtracting the sum of the blood osmotic pressure and the capsular hydrostatic pressure from the blood hydrostatic pressure, is positive. Therefore, for filtration to occur, the sum of blood osmotic pressure and capsular hydrostatic pressure must be less than blood hydrostatic pressure.

For Filtration to Occur, (Blood Osmotic Pressure + Capsular Hydrostatic
