Question

Which statement accurately compares filtration and reabsorption?

A. Filtration is driven by concentration gradient,whereas reabsorption depends on hydrostatic pressure.
B. Filtration involve bulk flow of fluid out of blood,whereas reabsorption is bulk flow back to the blood.
C. Filtration happens to the venule end of a capillary bed and reabsorption happens in feeder arterioles.
D. The direction of fiteration can be either into or out of blood,but reabsorption always involve fluids entering the blood.
D. Two of these statements are accurate.

Answer 1

D. The direction of filtration can be into or out of the blood, but reabsorption always involves fluids entering the blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe that this is the correct option since filtration can occur in blood vessels and lymphatics, that is why it can be inside or outside the blood, that is, the filtration can be bidirectional.

While the reabsorption is to be able to re-integrate it to the lumen of the capillary or the blood vessel, thus generating an uptake of certain chemical compounds, and this movement or flow is towards the interior of the capillaries, that is, towards the inside of the capillary.
