- It contains all plasma components except protein.
- It loses water, nutrients, and essential ions to become urine.
Large proteins like albumin are typically found in plasma but are not usually present in the glomerular filtrate due to their size and charge, which prevents them from passing through the filtration barrier of the glomerulus.
Compounds found in urine that are typically not present in glomerular filtrate include urea, creatinine, uric acid, and various metabolites. These substances result from metabolic processes and are actively secreted or concentrated by the renal tubules after the initial filtration of blood. Additionally, certain hormones and excess electrolytes may also be present in urine but not in the filtrate.
Filtrate. the ones trapped by the filter paper is called the residue
Large proteins like albumin are the least likely to be found in the glomerular filtrate, as they are usually too big to pass through the glomerular filtration barrier. On the other hand, small molecules like electrolytes, water, and waste products are more likely to be present in the glomerular filtrate.
Glomerulus is the filter that makes the filtrate.
It is called Filtrate
the flibia
secretion adds material to the filtrate; reabsorption removes materials from the filtrate
Ions and nutrients
protein
peritubular capillaries
Reabsorption is the process by which materials are returned to the blood from the filtrate in the kidneys. This process helps to maintain the body's balance of electrolytes, nutrients, and water by reabsorbing essential substances back into the bloodstream.
