GFR

Amount of urine formed each minute

|
Amount of filtrate formed in all renal corpuscles of both kidneys each minute

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The amount of the filtrate formed by both the kidneys per minute is called glomerular filtration rate (GFR). GFR in a healthy human is 125 mL/min. It accounts for 180 litres per day.
Detailed explanation-2: -The amount of filtrate formed in all the renal corpuscles of both kidneys per minute is called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In a normal adult, GFR is about 125 ml/min, which amounts to 180 litres a day. GFR is directly related to the pressures that determine NFP.
Detailed explanation-3: -The work of the kidneys produces about 125 mL/min filtrate in men (range of 90 to 140 mL/min) and 105 mL/min filtrate in women (range of 80 to 125 mL/min). This amount equates to a volume of about 180 L/day in men and 150 L/day in women.
