Question

Give the formula for net filtration pressure.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Blood filtering mainly depends upon three main pressure in the glomerulus. One pressure allows filtration whereas other two oppose filtration names are:

(GBHP) Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure: This pressure allow filtration and pushes solutes and water in blood plasma via a glomerular filter. The average pressure of GBHP in glomerulus capillaries is around 55mmHg.
(CHP) Capsular hydrostatic pressure and (BCOP) blood colloidal osmotic pressure both are back-pressures that opposed the filtration. The back- pressure of CHP is around 15mmHg and BCOP is 30mmHg.
