THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

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: -The first step in urine production is glomerular filtration. In this process, water and most of the solutes in blood plasma pass through the wall of glomerular capillaries, first into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal tubule. The product of glomerular filtration is referred to as glomerular filtrate.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glomerular Filtration Glomerular filtration is the initial process in urine production. It is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid and solute through a membrane with no energy requirement.
