Questions and Answers

What is the primary role of the Glomerulus in urine formation?

  • It secretes urine directly into the renal pelvis.
  • It filters blood cells while allowing plasma to enter the tubule.
  • It reabsorbs essential nutrients back into the blood.
  • It allows metabolic waste to pass into the Bowman's capsule. (correct)

Study Notes

Glomerular Filtration

  • Urine formation begins in the renal capsule, with the glomerulus playing a crucial role.
  • Metabolic waste products are filtered through the Bowman's capsule.
  • Fluid moves from the afferent arteriole into the glomerulus, where it is filtered; blood cells are retained while plasma passes through.
  • The filtered fluid is referred to as glomerular filtrate.
  • Uric acid and urea are waste products that also pass through the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule.
  • Occasionally, beneficial substances such as glucose can also be filtered into the Bowman's capsule.
