Question

The amount of fluid entering the capsular spaces of all the nephrons in a given time is called

a. the rate of tubular secretion
b. the rate of tubular reabsorption
c. the glomerular filtration rate
d. the net filtration pressure
e. the renal clearance

Answer 1

The answer is C: The glomerular filtration rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The glomerular filtration rate is defined as the amount of fluid floated within a certain time from the renal capillary glomerules into the Bowman's capsule. This filtration rate is usually measured in milliliters / minutes. Its calculation is important because through it we can assess how well the kidneys are working.
