Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glomerular filtration is the process by which plasma water, electrolytes, and small molecules are separated from blood cells and protein, which remain in the glomerular capillaries. It occurs in the nephron's glomerulus region and not in the loop of Henle. Option C describes tubular reabsorption, which is not related to glomerular filtration. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
