Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the fluid that passes from the blood through the capillary walls of the glomeruli into Bowman’s capsule.
A
Glomerular filtrate
B
Urine
C
Urea
D
Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Liquid and solutes of the blood must pass through multiple layers to move from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman’s space to ultimately become filtrate within the nephron’s lumen. Following the GBM, filtrate must pass through the epithelial layer of Bowman’s capsule, which is composed of podocytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -Glomerular filtration is a process of moving materials (water and solutes) under pressure (blood hydrostatic pressure) from the blood in the glomerular capillaries into Bowman’s capsule.
