Perhaps, you wanted to know about 'glomerular filtrate'. Glomerulus is a microscopic structure in the kidney, consisting of capillary networks. It is here where the actual filtration takes place. If you wring a wet towel, you can see how water is squeezed out. Likewise, in the glomerulus, high water (hydrostatic) pressure leads to filtration, and the filtrate is called glomerular filtrate.
What else can I help you with?
How does its high plus pressure condition aid its function of filtrate formation?
blood plasma is secreted from vessels in the glomular capsule. the higher the pressure of the blood when it enters the glomular capsule, the more plasma will be secreted. It's like having a water balloon with a few holes in it--if you squeeze the balloon (add more pressure), then water goes out faster. The plasma that is secreted into the glomular space is called filtrate. The more plasma secreted, the more filtrate that is produced.. The higher the pressure of plasma, the more plasma that is secreted.
The thin barrier at the Bowmans capsule allows for the filtration of what?
The thin barrier at the Bowman's capsule allows for the filtration of substances such as water, electrolytes, glucose, amino acids, and waste products from the blood into the renal tubules in the kidneys. Large proteins and blood cells are typically too big to pass through this filter.
Why you cannot filtrate a solution?
A filtrate is already in solution.
Site of filtrate formation?
site filtrate formation
What is a filtrate in filtration?
A filtrate is the liquid that has passed through a filter.
What is the liquid that pass through the filtering funnel?
Filtrate. the ones trapped by the filter paper is called the residue
What happens to the filtrate concentration of water as it descends the tubules?
As the filtrate goes down the hypertonic interstitum of the renal medulla, water leaves the filtrate into the interstitum. As such, the water concentration in the filtrate decreases.
Where is the site of the filtrate formation?
Glomerulus is the filter that makes the filtrate.
How Collect the filtrate?
Filtrate is collected in a recipient placed under the funnel or filtration apparatus.
Is a filtrate pure?
A filtrate doesn't contain insoluble substances but can contain soluble substances.
What is the name for the liquid that goes through a piece of filter paper?
filtrate sand is a filtrate it stays behind
What is the filtrate in sulfur and potassium chloride mixture?
The word "filtrate' is not adequate for a mixture of S and KCl as solids.
