Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fluid in the glomerular (Bowman's) capsule, called glomerular filtrate, is similar to plasma except that it does not contain a significant amount of plasma proteins. These proteins are too large to pass through the filtration membrane in the glomerulus and are therefore retained in the blood. Glucose, hormones, and electrolytes can all be found in the glomerular filtrate.
