E)It usually includes the transfer of red blood cells to the nephron tubulE.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transfer of fluid from the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule is mainly a consequence of blood pressure force-filtering the fluid, known as glomerular filtration.

Answer: C
 The transfer of fluid is very selective as to which small molecules are transferred. The size and charge of molecules affect their ability to pass through the filtration barrier. Proteins, for example, are generally too large to pass through.

Answer: E
 The transfer of red blood cells to the nephron tubule is not a normal part of glomerular filtration and would indicate damage to the filtration barrier or other pathological processes. Therefore, choice E is incorrect.

Thus, the correct answer is D and C.
