Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process of filtration is driven by
A
Active transport
B
Blood osmotic pressure
C
Blood hydrostatic pressure
D
Renal pumping
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-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. 2. Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is a back-pressure that opposes filtration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrostatic pressure (Pcap) is normally the major force of filtration across the capillary wall.
