Question 13
Easy

The diagram below represents ultrafiltration in the renal corpuscle of a nephron.

Renal corpuscle ultrafiltration

In a healthy individual, the hydrostatic pressure of the blood in the glomerulus is measured at 7.4 kPa.

This glomerular hydrostatic pressure is 4.4 times greater than the hydrostatic pressure of the filtrate inside the Bowman's capsule.

Calculate the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid inside the Bowman's capsule.

Give your answer to one decimal place.
