Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ultrafiltration is the removal of fluid from a patient and is one of the functions of the kidneys that dialysis treatment replaces. Ultrafiltration occurs when fluid passes across a semipermeable membrane (a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but not others) due to a driving pressure.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Plasma proteins’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Filtration of blood occurs in the renal corpuscle, which is composed of the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule. The glomerulus is a complex net of capillaries that carry blood adjacent to Bowman’s capsule. Bowman’s capsule collects fluid filtrate from the blood and transfers to the rest of the nephron.
