Which mechanism used to form urine requires a high blood pressure?


a. glomerular filtration
b. selective reabsorption
c. tubular secretion
e. countercurrent mechanism

(A) glomerular filtration.

calculation of GFR is expressed as:

GFR =Kf X [ (Pc-Pg) - ( Cc-Cg)]

where GFR= glomerular filtration rate
Kf= a coefficient so that stuff makes sense
P =hydrostatic pressure
C = colloid osmotic pressure
c = capillary
g = glomerulus

So, the hiigher the capillary pressure, the more fluid gets filtered.

a. Glomerular filtration. The higher the blood pressure in the glomerulus, the more ions and small molecules will pass through into the Bowman's capsule.
