Detailed explanation-1: -19.2A and inset) The filtered fluid entering Bowman’s space is called the glomerular ultrafiltrate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluids comprising excess water, salt and metabolic waste products are extracted from the blood as it enters the Bowman’s capsule in the nephrons. This fluid in the Bowman’s capsule is called glomerular filtrate. It is similar to blood plasma except that it has almost no protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a result, the filtrate leaving the Bowman’s capsule is very similar to blood plasma (filtrate or glomerular filtrate is composed of blood plasma minus plasma protein i.e. it contains all the components of blood plasma except the proteins) in composition as it passes into the proximal convoluted tubule.

Detailed explanation-4: -The substances which are filtered out from the glomerulus are called glomerular filtrate. The glomerular filtrate is also known as nephric filtrate.
