Detailed explanation-1: -The kidney glomerulus functions by retaining the essential plasma proteins from blood and ensures selective ultrafiltration. It has three major components, a fenestrated endothelium, GBM and podocytes and collectively they form the glomerular filtration assembly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glomerular filtrate contains a lot of water, but also important molecules like glucose, amino acids, salts and excretory material, urea.
Detailed explanation-3: -Filterable blood components include water, nitrogenous waste, and nutrients that will be transferred into the glomerulus to form the glomerular filtrate. Non-filterable blood components include blood cells, albumins, and platelets, that will leave the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole.
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: The glomerular filtrate contains blood plasma without blood cells and proteins.
