Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renal clearance refers to the ability of the kidneys to remove molecules from the blood plasma by excreting them in the urine. Glomerular filtration is the first step in this process, where blood is filtered through the glomerulus of the nephron into Bowman's capsule. Reabsorption is the process where molecules are reabsorbed back into the blood from the nephron. Micturition refers to the process of emptying the bladder. Therefore, the best choice is B) renal clearance.
