Q: What is the typical rate of filtration in the glomerulus of the kidney?  

Answer: B

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) refers to the rate at which blood is filtered by the glomerulus in the kidney. It is a measure of kidney function and is typically expressed in terms of volume per unit of time. The average GFR for a healthy adult is approximately 180 liters per day, which means that the entire plasma volume is filtered approximately 60 times a day. This high rate of filtration is necessary for the kidneys to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. Factors that can affect GFR include age, gender, body size, and health status.
