Q. The net filtration pressure in the glomerulus of the kidney is

J & K CETJ & K CET 2007

Solution:

Effective Filtration Pressure (EFP) or Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) is glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure minus the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood and capsular hydrostatic pressure. EFP/NFP = GBHP - (BCOP + CHP) $= 60 - (32 + 18) = 10\, mm\, Hg$.
