Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The nonselective, passive process performed by the glomerulus that forms blood plasma without blood proteins is called ____
A
glomerular filtration
B
tubular reabsorption
C
glomerular reabsorption
D
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). Glomeruli restrict the passage of the hydrophobic or nanoparticles.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process by which glomerular filtration occurs is called renal ultrafiltration. The force of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus (the force of pressure exerted from the pressure of the blood vessel itself) is the driving force that pushes filtrate out of the capillaries and into the slits in the nephron.
