Under normal conditions,glomerular filtration depends on three main pressures.Which of those pressures is a pressure that favors the filtration pressure? A)glomerular hydrostatic pressure B)capsular hydrostatic pressure C)capsular colloid osmotic pressure D)blood colloid osmotic pressure E)urinary bladder hydrostatic pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the pressure within the glomerulus that favors filtration by pushing the filtrate out of the glomerulus and into the Bowman's capsule. The other pressures - capsular hydrostatic pressure, capsular colloid osmotic pressure, blood colloid osmotic pressure, and urinary bladder hydrostatic pressure - act to oppose filtration.
