Which of the following best describes what happens in the glomerulus?
|
|
Regulation of salt balance leading to the production of urine
|
|
|
Ultrafiltration introduces water and other molecules into the capillaries
|
|
|
High blood pressure forces water and other molecules into the nephron
|
|
|
Selective reabsorption of water and molecules by active transport
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Most of the water and other substances that filter through your glomeruli are returned to your blood by the tubules.
