A) 1.7 L
B) 7 L
C) 17 L
D) 170 L
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
About 120 mL glomerular filtrate is produced per minute, |
i.e. \[120\times 1440\min =172800\,ml\] |
approximately 170 L filtrate is produced in 24 h. The blood pressure in glomerular capillaries becomes very high, so that there is continuous process of ultrafiltration. Glomerular filtrate contains a large amount of water and there dissolved substances such as urea, uric acid, creatinine, amino acids, glucose, sodium, potassium, vitamins, etc. |
