검증된 단계별 안내1
Understand the concept of glomerular filtration: It is the process by which the kidneys filter blood, removing excess wastes and fluids.
Identify the forces involved in glomerular filtration: These include hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure, both in the glomerular capillaries and Bowman's capsule.
Recognize that hydrostatic pressure is the force exerted by a fluid due to gravity, pushing fluid out of the capillaries.
Note that osmotic pressure is the force exerted by proteins in the blood plasma, pulling water into the capillaries.
Determine that the main driving force for glomerular filtration is the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries, which pushes fluid into the Bowman's capsule.
