THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of ultrafiltration occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys. The process can be described as follows: Blood flows through the glomerulus that is surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule. The hydrostatic pressure forces the small molecules to leave the glomerulus and enter in the Bowman’s capsule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ultrafiltration is the removal of fluid from a patient and is one of the functions of the kidneys that dialysis treatment replaces. Ultrafiltration occurs when fluid passes across a semipermeable membrane (a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but not others) due to a driving pressure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ultrafiltration occurs in the glomerulus and it is an entirely passive process. This process occurs when the colloidal osmotic pressure plus the capsular pressure remains less than the glomerular hydrostatic pressure..
