What is filtration?

Filtration:

It is the process by which fluid is forced out through a membrane or other barrier because of pressure
difference on the two sides of membrane. 
  • Filtration at glomerular membranes of kidney that forms filtrate and urine.
  • Filtration at arterial end of capillary that allows exit of fluid with nutrients out of blood vessel to reach the cells.
