MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Renal Glomerular Filtration: Glomerular filtration is a passive, nonselective process in which hydrostatic pressure (approximately 10 mm Hg) forces fluids and small (<5 nm) hydrophilic particles through the glomerular membrane (Deen et al., 2001).

Detailed explanation-2: -The term ultrafiltration refers to the passive movement of a plasmalike fluid that has a very low concentration of proteins from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman’s space. The endothelial cells of glomerular capillaries are covered by a glycocalyx and sit on a basement membrane, which is surrounded by podocytes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glomerular Filtration Glomerular filtration is the initial process in urine production. It is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid and solute through a membrane with no energy requirement.
