Blood Pressure in the Capillaries Forces a Protein-Free Filtrate Out

Question

Blood pressure in the capillaries forces a protein-free filtrate out of the
A)glomerulus.
B)proximal tubule.
C)loop of Henle.
D)distal tubule.
E)renal pelvis.

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure in the capillaries of the glomerulus is high, and this high pressure causes a protein-free filtrate to be forced out of the glomerulus into the proximal tubule. The other options (proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, and renal pelvis) are involved in further processing and modification of the filtrate, but the initial filtration occurs in the glomerulus.
