The rate of glomerular filtration depends on the filtration coefficient as well as on the net filtration pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rate of glomerular filtration is determined by the filtration coefficient (a measure of the permeability surface area of the glomerular capillaries) as well as the net filtration pressure (the difference between the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure and the opposing forces of Bowman's capsule hydrostatic pressure and the glomerular capillary oncotic pressure).
