Q. When does glomerular filtration occurs in Bowman’s capsule?

A) When hydrostatic pressure of blood in the glomerulus is 70 mm Hg and net filtrate pressure is -25 mm Hg
B) When hydrostatic pressure of blood in the glomerulus is 70 mm Hg and net filtrate pressure is -35 mm Hg
C) When hydrostatic pressure of blood in the glomerulus is 70 mm Hg and net filtrate pressure is 10 mm Hg
D) When hydrostatic pressure of blood in the glomerulus is 70 mm Hg and net filtrate pressure is -70 mm Hg
Explanation

Glomerular filtration occurs in Bowman’s capsule when hydrostatic pressure of blood in the glomerulus is 70 mm Hg and net filtrate pressure is 10 mm Hg.
