Question
which of these factors do the kidneys depend on the most for blood filtration? a blood pressure b amount of nutrients aside from oxygen in the blood c amount of oxygen in the blood d amount of white blood cells in the blood
The kidneys depend on blood pressure for blood filtration. Blood pressure forces fluid and small solutes through the glomerular filtration membrane. Nutrients (other than oxygen), oxygen amount, and white blood cell count do not directly drive the filtration process as much as blood pressure.
