Part C - Fate of the Filtrate

What happens to the glomerular filtrate released into the capsular space?

It passes into the glomerulus.

It passes into the proximal convoluted tubule.

It is absorbed by the efferent arteriole.

It is absorbed by the outer layer of the capsule.

Expert Solution

The filtrate released into the capsular space is then transferred into the proximal convoluted tubule is the right answer.
It is not absorbed by the outer layer of the capsule.
The glomerulus is the tuft of capillaries enclosed by the Bowman's capsule.
Glomerulus is the tuft of capillaries which is formed by the afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole.The blood enters into the glomerulus through afferent arteriole and then the blood filter into the glomerulus and filtered blood leaves through efferent arteriole. And then filtrate collect into the capsular space first.
From capsular space it then passes into the proximal convoluted tubule.
In the proximal convoluted tubule process of reabsorption of filtrate occurs.
Then it transfers towards the Henle's loop.
From the Henle's loop it passes into the distal convoluted tubule and lastly into the collecting duct.
So, this is the fate of the filtrate in the nephron.
Upto 70-80 % of filtrate is absorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule and then remaining filtrate is reabsorbed in the rest of the tubules. Along with the reabsorption process there is secretion of substances also occurs in the tubules.
