The fluid that leaves the glomerulus and enters the glomerular capsule is called glomerular:
A
urine
B
plasma
C
filtrate
D
exudate
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the nephron, specifically the role of the glomerulus and the glomerular capsule in kidney function.
Recognize that blood plasma is filtered through the glomerulus, a network of capillaries, into the surrounding glomerular capsule.
Identify that the fluid collected in the glomerular capsule is not yet urine but a filtered version of plasma without large proteins and cells.
Recall the specific term used for this filtered fluid, which is 'glomerular filtrate' or simply 'filtrate'.
Distinguish 'filtrate' from other terms like 'urine' (which is processed filtrate), 'plasma' (the blood component before filtration), and 'exudate' (fluid from inflammation or injury).
