Q120 / 160 · JIPMER 2007 · Zoology
The net pressure gradient that causes the fluid to filter out of the glomeruli into the capsule is
- Correct answerA20 mm Hg
- B75 mm Hg
- C30 mm Hg
- D50 mm Hg
Solution
Kidneys help in the formation of urine, from the blood flowing through glomerular capillaries. About $20 \%$ of plasma fluid filters out into the Bowman's capsule through a thin glomerular-capsular membrane due to a net or effective filtration of about 10 to 15 mm Hg .
So, the nearest option is (1).
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
