Q. Filtration takes place in

Chhattisgarh PMTChhattisgarh PMT 2005

Solution:

The process of ultra filtration occurs in the Malpighian corpuscles of the nephrons. The glomerulus of a Malpighian corpuscles is a network of several parallel capillaries. From the blood flowing through glomerular capillaries, about $20 \%$ of plasma fluid filters out into the Bowman's capsule through thin glomerular-capsular membrane due to a net or Effective Filtration Pressure (EFP) of about $10$ to $15 \,mm \,Hg$.
