Assertion: Ultrafiltration takes place in presence of effective filtration pressure.
Reason: In ultrafiltration process, blood is filtered in Bowman’s capsule, filtered fluid contain protein & blood corpuscles also.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Explanation:
Ultrafiltration takes place in renal corpuscle of uriniferous tubule. It takes place in presence of effective filtration pressure. During the process, blood is filtered and contains only blood plasma – proteins. The filtered blood entering into Bowman’s capsule is called glomerular filtrate.
Glomerular filtrate = Blood – (Blood corpuscles + plasma proteins)
