Bulk flow of nutrients,ions and water into the peritubular capillaries is the result of all of the following except one.Select the answer below that does not describe a cause of bulk flow of fluids into the peritubular capillaries.
A) higher osmotic pressure in the peritubular capillary
B) increased resistance to blood flow at the efferent arteriole
C) leaky tight junctions of peritubular capillary's endothelium
D) lower hydrostatic pressure in the peritubular capillary

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leaky tight junctions of peritubular capillary's endothelium would not cause bulk flow of fluids into the peritubular capillaries. Bulk flow is primarily driven by osmotic and hydrostatic pressures, not the permeability of junctions.
