Detailed explanation-1: -The net filtration pressure is determined by the balance of the Starling forces (the hydrostatic pressure and the oncotic pressure within the glomerular capillaries and Bowman’s capsule).
Detailed explanation-2: -Net filtration pressure averages 10 mm Hg (i.e., 55 mmHg −15 mmHg − 30 mmHg = 10 mmHg). This is in contrast to the 0.3 mmHg net pressure found in most capillaries of the body. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the total amount of filtrate formed by the two million renal corpuscles in the kidneys divided by time.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Net filtration pressure is calculated by subtracting both capsular hydrostatic pressure and blood colloid from the Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure.
