a filtrate fluid that oozes from the glomerulus and is collected by the Bowman's capsule.
Glomerular Filtration RateThe GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate, and assesses kidney function.
Glomerular filtration is part of the process in the formation of urine. After the process of glomerular filtration is carried out, most of the fluid goes into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal corpuscle. Some of the fluid is reabsorbed by the body.
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.

Net filtration pressure responsible for forming renal filtrate.
Glomerular filtration rate
Glomerular filtration is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membraneThe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to the net filtration pressure and is about 125 ml/min (180 L/day).The glomeruli function as filters. High glomerular blood pressure (55 mm Hg) occurs because the glomeruli are fed and drained by arterioles, and the afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than the efferent arterioles.
glomerular capsule
it occurs in the glomerulare (Bowman's) capsule.
