3−steps are involved in the formation of urine A) Ultra filtration It is filtration under pressure. Glomerular capillary pressure (45 mm of Hg) favours filtration. The Colloidal osmotic pressure (due to plasma proteins, particularly albumin) acts against filteration. Its value is ~20 mm of Hg. The Capsular filtrate pressure, due to the glomerular filtrate in the Bowman’s capsule, also acts against filtration. Its value is ~10 mm of Hg. Net filtration pressure = 45 − (20+10) mm of Hg = 15 mm of Hg or 10 − 20 mm of Hg. Only 1/5 of plasma (20%) gets filtered from glomerulus per unit time. It is about 125 ml per minute.…
