What is the primary driving force for glomerular filtration?
Osmotic pressure in the Bowman's capsule
Hydrostatic pressure in the Bowman's capsule
Hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries
Active transport by podocytes
Choose the correct ones: I. Vasa recta is lacking in cortical nephrons, II. Maximum number of nephrons in kidney are juxta-medullary type, III. DCT of many nephorns open into collecting tubule, IV. During summer when body loses lot of water by evaporation, the release of ADH is suppressed, V. When someone drinks lot of water, ADH release is suppressed, VI. Exposure to cold temperature stimulates ADH release, VII. An increase in glomerular blood flow stimulates formation of angiotensin II. The correct option is
