True or False? By the time the glomerular filtrate reaches the tip of the renal pyramid, the concentration of the filtrate is higher than the concentration of the interstitial fluid.
Question
True or False? By the time the glomerular filtrate reaches the tip of the renal pyramid, the concentration of the filtrate is higher than the concentration of the interstitial fluid.
Solution
False. By the time the glomerular filtrate reaches the tip of the renal pyramid, the concentration of the filtrate is lower than the concentration of the interstitial fluid. This is due to the reabsorption of water and solutes from the filtrate back into the bloodstream as it travels down the nephron.
