2.61 describe ultrafication in the Bowman’s capsule and the composition of glomerular filtrate

2.61 •ultrafication: •blood from the renal artery flows through the glomerulus 
                              •a high pressure squeezes water, urea, salts and glucose out of the blood and into the Bowman’s capsule
                              •the membranes in the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule act as filters -  big molecules (proteins and blood cells) are not squeezed out
