The net pressure gradient that causes the fluid to filter out of the glomeruli into the capsule is

  1. 50 mm Hg
  2. 75 mm Hg
  3. 20 mm Hg
  4. 30 mm Hg

Answer

(3) 20 mm Hg

Solution

As per NCERT, the blood pressure in the glomerular capillaries causes filtration of blood through the filtration membrane into Bowman's capsule.

This pressure is opposed by the colloidal osmotic pressure of plasma proteins and the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid in the capsule.

Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GHP) ≈ 70 mm Hg

Blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP) ≈ 30 mm Hg

Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) ≈ 20 mm Hg

⇒ Net filtration pressure = GHP - (BCOP + CHP)

= 70 - (30 + 20)

= 20 mm Hg

Answer: (3)
