Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glomerular filtration is the process by which plasma water, electrolytes, and small molecules are separated from blood cells and proteins, and this occurs in the renal corpuscle.

Answer: D 
 Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to glomerular capsular pressure; that is, the higher the pressure, the greater the GFR.
