Question

Ultrafiltration takes place in:
A. Blood Capillaries
B. Tissue Fluid
C. Glomerulus
D. Urinary Bladder

Answer 1

Hint: Bowman's capsule is a double-layered cup-shaped structure that forms the beginning of the renal tubule. This capsule protects the glomerulus (the first part of nephrons). The renal corpuscles are made up of the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule. In the kidney, blood is cleansed.

Complete step by step answer:
The first stage in the creation of urine is the filtration of blood, which is performed by the glomerulus and is known as glomerular filtration. The kidney filters blood at a rate of 1100-1200 mL per minute on average. The glomerular capillary blood pressure causes blood filtration by the usage of openings in the glomerular membrane. Except for proteins, the blood is so well filtered through the membrane that practically all of the plasma components flow into the Bowman's capsule lumen. This is known as ultrafiltration, and the filtered fluid is known as glomerular filtrate.
Because glomerular capillaries are smaller than afferent renal arteries, blood flows at high pressure through them. In humans, it is around 75 mm Hg. Ultrafiltration is another term for glomerular filtration. The glomerular filtrate is made up of water and salts that are driven out of the glomerular capillaries and pass into the Bowman's capsule. In humans, this glomerular filtrate is generated at a rate of more than 125 cubic centimetres per minute. It is made up of water, salt, glucose, and urea.
As a result, option C is the right answer.

Note: Glomerular Filtration Rate refers to the amount of filtrate produced by the kidneys per minute (GFR). The GFR of a normal healthy person is around 125 mL/minute.
Bowman's capsule's visceral layer is made up of unique cells called podocytes, which include the slits that aid in filtrete filters. Normal resorption of the filtrate occurs in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule, which includes glucose, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, ions, water, and urea.
