Ultrafiltration uses high pressure to force liquids and small molecules from blood capillaries into Bowman's capsule, passing through three layers, while larger components stay in the blood.
This card describes ultrafiltration as high-pressure forcing liquids and small molecules from blood capillaries into Bowman's capsule through three layers, while larger molecules like proteins and cells remain in the blood.
| Front | Process of ultrafiltration |
|---|---|
| Back | High pressure forces liquids and smaller molecules in the blood out of the capillary into the bowmans capsule Liquid and small molecules pass through 3 layers to get into the bowmans capsule Larger molecules such as proteins and blood cells cant pass through and so stay in the blood. |
