“A large amount of about 180 L of fluid is filtered by the human kidneys per day.” It is facilitated by all of the following, except

• A

  About 1/5th of cardiac output passes through the kidneys.

• B

  The glomerular capillaries are fenestrated and hence are leakier than normal capillaries.

• C

  The podocytes of the Bowman’s capsule leave filtration slits between their foot processes.

• D

  The efferent arteriole is wider than the afferent arteriole.
