In which of the following processes in mammals is liquid passed from blood capillaries to Bowman‘s capsule?
Answer Details
The process in mammals where liquid is passed from blood capillaries to Bowman's capsule is called filtration. During filtration, blood is filtered through the walls of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule due to the high pressure in the blood vessels. This allows small molecules such as water, ions, and waste products like urea to pass through into the Bowman's capsule while larger molecules such as proteins and blood cells are retained in the blood vessels. The filtered fluid is then further processed and modified as it passes through the rest of the nephron to form urine.
