How much blood is filtered by the human kidneys in one minute?
- A125 mL
- B500 mL
- Correct answerC1100mL
- D5000mL
Solution
Glomerular filtration or ultrafiltration is the process of urine formation and about 1100–1200 ml of blood (1/5th of cardiac output) is filtered at the level of the glomerulus in both the kidneys per minute. Filtration is a non-selective process. The glomerular capillary blood pressure results in the filtration of blood.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
