2.71 Ultrafiltration

Ultrafiltration - the filtration of molecules

The nephron - filtration of blood (into filtered blood + urea < Separate things)



The Bowmans capsule 
(where filtration begins)

               

The high pressure caused by the different sized tubes, forces the plasma (water, salts, amino acids, glucose and urea) out of the blood vessel and into the bowmans capsule
