Study Notes
Filtration Process
- The filtrate consists of water, small molecules, and ions.
- These components can easily pass through the filtration membrane.
- Conversely, larger molecules, such as proteins and blood cells, are blocked from passing through the filtration membrane.
This quiz covers the process of blood filtration, including the types of molecules that pass through the filtration membrane and those that are prevented from passing through.
