The filtrate is formed as a liquid which is forced to pass through the walls of glomerulus. This is formed after the process of filtration.

Yes


How is kidney nephron adapted to its function?

Blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron. The function of the glomerulus is to filter the resultant fluid that will become urine.


What is the function of the glomerolus?

In the kidney, a tubular structure called the nephron filters blood to form urine. At the beginning of the nephron, the glomerulus /ɡlɒˈmɛrələs/ is a network (tuft) of capillariesthat performs the first step of filtering blood.The glomerulus is surrounded by Bowman's capsule. The blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron.A glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation. Unlike most other capillary beds, the glomerulus drains into an efferent arteriole rather than a venule. The resistance of these arterioles results in high pressure within the glomerulus, aiding the process of ultrafiltration, where fluids and soluble materials in the blood are forced out of the capillaries and into Bowman's capsule.A glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Are the glomerulus the glomerular capsule and the proximal convoluted tubule all located within the medulla region of the kidney?

Renal Papilla are found in the medulla, but the glomerulus is found in the renal cortex.


What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?

Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.


How does the bulk flow of filtrate into the capsule differ from diffusion?

The bulk flow of filtrate is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is a broad category of distribution of a substance within another substance. Diffusion can be specific or general in location and rate of flow.
