The net pressure gradient that causes the fluid to filter out from the glomeruli into the capsule is
Updated On: Jul 27, 2022
- 50 mm Hg
- 75 mm Hg
- 10 mm Hg
- 30 mm Hg
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
(i) Glomerular capillary pressure (60 mm Hg) favours filtration.
(ii) The colloidal osmotic pressure (due to plasma proteins, particularly albumin) acts against filtration. Its value is 32 mm Hg.
(iii) The filtrate pressure due to the glomerular filtrate filled in the Bowman's capsule also acts against filtration. Its value is 18 mmHg.
Net filtration pressure = 60 - (32 + 18) mm Hg
= 10 mm of Hg

Excretory products and their elimination
The physiological process of the elimination of metabolic waste from the body is called excretion. The excretory products comprise amino acids, carbon dioxide, urea, uric acid, water, and ammonia. Some of the Molluscs and Echinoderms excrete waste products from the body in the form of amino acids. Ammonia is the foremost excretory product in animals, it is derived from the proteins exists in the food we eat.
