MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerular filtration is the process where the toxic waste chemicals and excess fluid are filtered out in the glomerulus in the nephrons of the kidney. The filtrate out from the glomerulus contains nitrogenous waste like ammonia, water, ions, etc., but is devoid of blood cells and major proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Under normal conditions, high molecular weight proteins in the plasma (e.g., albumin and globulin) cannot pass through the filtration membrane due to the effects of the size barrier and charge barrier of the glomerular capillary filtration membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The filtration of blood is carried out in renal corpuscle. Glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule together form the renal corpuscle. Glomerulus is a group of blood capillaries that is present in the Bowman’s capsule of nephrons and is the seat, where the process of ultrafiltration takes place.
