Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason, due to which there is more filtration via glomerular capillaries as compared to other body capillaries.

Introduction:

The principle, on which the process of filtration is based, is that the pressure must be applied to force the fluid and solute through the membrane. The same filtration principle applies to all the capillaries in the body. However, there is a difference in the rate of filtration observed in the capillaries in the body.
