Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glomerular filtration is the process by which plasma water, electrolytes, and small molecules, which enter Bowman's capsule, are separated from blood cells and protein, which remain in the glomerular capillaries. It does not occur in the loop of Henle or involve the transportation of a substance from the tubular fluid to the peritubular capillaries.
