Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What is glomerular filtration? Glomerular filtration is the first step in making urine. It is the process that your kidneys use to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so they may be eliminated from your body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urine Is 95% Water The nephrons of the kidneys process blood and create urine through a process of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure (GBHP) promotes filtration-it pushes water and solutes in blood plasma through the glomerular filter. GBHP is the blood pressure in glomerular capillaries, which is about 55mm Hg.
