Question:

What causes a build-up of hydrostatic pressure within the glomerolus? What is the result of this?

Author: Eva K 3sq0



Answer:

- The afferent arteriole is larger in diameter than the efferent arteriole - Water, mineral ions and glucose are squeezed out of the capillaries to form glomerular filtrate - Blood cells and proteins are too large to pass into the Bowman's capsule from the afferent arteriole
