Explanation / Answer

Answer

1.Hydrostatic pressure

the filtration of fluids at glomerulus is mainly due to three types of pressures.

i. Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure- this is due to pressure in glomerular capillaries. the value is 55mmHg

ii. Capsular hydrostatic pressure- this is due to fluid in bowmen's capsule and renal tubule. it is against to filtration membrane. the value is 15 mm Hg

iii. Blood colloid osmotic pressure- this is due to presence of proteins in plasma which opposes the filtration. the value is 30mmHg

2. Glomerulus

it is the network of capillaries of afferent arterioles and efferent arterioles.

3. Capsular space, Proximal tubule

capsular space - it is cup like structure made up of epithelial cells. the filtered fluid enters into capsule and then passed into proximal tubule.

Proximal tubule - It is the first tubular segment of the nephron consist of epithelial cells with slight projection that increases the surface area and increases the reasorption. 60-70 % water and ions are take place.  

4. Nephron loop

This is the next part of the poximal tubule. From that the fluid moves into collecting ducts and then enters into renal papilla or papillary duct.

5. Distal tubule

Filtrate fluid from distal convoluted tubule enters into collecting ducts.
