Ultrafiltration: When blood enters the Glomerulus in high pressure and components are filtered to produce Glomerular Filtrate.
Process:
-Renal Artery carries oxygenated blood to Bowman’s Capsule under high pressure. (Blood carried by arteries are always under high pressure, such as the pulmonary artery)
-Pressure further increases in the Glomerulus due to thinner tubes, and components are filtered and forced out of blood to produce Glomerular Filtrate: Water, Salts, Glucose and Urea.
Components of Glomerular Filtrate:
Salts
|
Loop of Henle
|
Glucose
|
Proximal convoluted tubule
|
Water
|
Collecting duct
|
Urea
|
NOT REABSORBED
