What is Glomular Filtrate? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Perhaps, you wanted to know about 'glomerular filtrate'. Glomerulus is a microscopic structure in the kidney, consisting of capillary networks. It is here where the actual filtration takes place. If you wring a wet towel, you can see how water is squeezed out. Likewise, in the glomerulus, high water (hydrostatic) pressure leads to filtration, and the filtrate is called glomerular filtrate.
