Expert Solution

Step 1

The fluid that entered the Bowman's capsule is an ultrafiltrate of the blood. It is also known as glomerular filtrate or primary urine. The filtrate leaving the Bowman's capsule is similar to blood plasma in composition as it passes into the proximal convoluted tubules.

The amount of glomerular filtrate produced per minute is called glomerular filtration rate (GFR). In normal condition the GFR is 125 ml/min.
