The main driving force for glomerular filtration in the human kidney is

Easy

A

glomerular blood colloidal osmotic pressure
B

capsular hydrostatic pressure
C

capsular osmotic pressure
D

glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure

Solution

Glomerular filtration is the passive process by which water and small dissolved solute molecules are forced through the filtration membrane into the capsular space of the Bowman’s capsule. The main driving force for glomerular filtration is glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure. It is opposed by capsular hydrostatic pressure and glomerular blood colloidal osmotic pressure.
