PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nephrons work through a two-step process: the glomerulus filters your blood, and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes. Each nephron has a glomerulus to filter your blood and a tubule that returns needed substances to your blood and pulls out additional wastes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered. This means that about 180 liters of fluid are filtered by the kidneys every day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The given statement is false. The glomerulus is the starting point of the nephron through which blood passes, and at this point, substances such as water, ions, glucose and proteins are filtered out and flow into the next part of the nephron.

Detailed explanation-4: -The glomerulus is the site in the nephron where fluid and solutes are filtered out of the blood to form a glomerular filtrate.
