Consider the steady ultafiltration of a solute from the capillary across the glomerular endothelial cells into the urinary filtrate in the kidneys. Model the endothelial cells as an infinite membrane of thickness tEC. Assume a well-mixed capillary with concentration CC and a well-mixed filtrate at CF. With a diffusion constant of DEC in the endothelial cell compartment, what is concentration profile across the endothelial cells

Answer:

DEC = CC + CF

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be understood that, the concentration profile across the endothelial cells will base on the diffusion rate of the filtrate .
