Question

What is the main factor in the net driving force for filtration in the glomerulus?

a. Capillary hydrostatic pressure
b. Colloid osmotic pressure
c. Glomerular filtration rate
d. Capsular hydrostatic pressure

Answer 1

The correct answer is a. Capillary hydrostatic pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

The capillary hydrostatic pressure is one that favors glomerular filtration, then there are the forces that oppose this action: Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure and osmotic force.
