Q.
Effective net filtration pressure in the glomerulus in kidney of man is about
Excretory Products and their Elimination
Solution:
1. GHP (Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure): Pressure in the glomerulus. It is about 75 mm Hg
2. BCOP (Blood Colloidal Osm otic Pressure) : It is due to the plasma proteins (albumin, globulin and fibrinogen) in the glomeruli
• Plasma proteins are not filtered
• BCOP opposes filtration and is about 32 mm Hg
