What is the main
transformation presented by
the glomerular filtrate in
comparison to the blood?
The glomerular filtrate is the filtered product of the blood plasma. It is the fluid that passes from the blood through the capillary walls and enters the glomerular capsule space and gets filtered. The glomerular filtrate is the fraction of blood plasma that gets filtered and becomes urine which is to be excreted.
The main transformation presented by the glomerular filtrate in comparison to blood is their components. The components of blood include red and white blood cells, platelets, plasma proteins, water, glucose, nutrients, electrolytes, gases, nitrogenous wastes, and salts.
The components of glomerular filtrate include water, very few plasma proteins, salt, urea, and glucose.
