The nonselective, passive process performed by the glomerulus that forms blood plasma without blood proteins is called ____
|
|
glomerular filtration
|
|
|
tubular reabsorption
|
|
|
glomerular reabsorption
|
|
|
tubular secretion

Explanation:
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: -Filtration. Beginning step of urine formation. Occurs at the glomerulus, nonselective passive process. Water and solutes smaller than proteins are forced through capillary walls of the glomerulus, which act as a filter.
Detailed explanation-3: -The glomerulus serves as a nonselective filter of certain plasma substances.
