Question
Chapter 24.2, Problem 6R
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason due to which blood pressure is higher in glomerular capillaries than in other systemic capillaries.
Introduction: The process of filtration is done exclusively in the renal corpuscle, across the filtration membrane. The renal corpuscle mainly has two parts: the glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule.
