Which of the following formulas will allow you to calculate the net filtration pressure (FP)? (Hint: GHP = glomerular hydrostatic pressure,BCOP = blood colloidal osmotic pressure,CsHP = capsular hydrostatic pressure.)
A)FP = GHP + CsHP - BCOP
B)FP = GHP - (CsHP + BCOP)
C)FP = CsHP + GHP - BCOP
D)FP = BCOP - GHP + CsHP
E)FP = BCOP + (GHP - CsHP)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Net filtration pressure (FP) is calculated by subtracting the forces opposing filtration (capsular hydrostatic pressure, CsHP, and blood colloidal osmotic pressure, BCOP) from the force promoting filtration (glomerular hydrostatic pressure, GHP). Therefore, the correct formula is FP = GHP - (CsHP + BCOP).
