The Bowman's capsule contains a dense capillary network called the glomerulus. Blood flows into these capillaries through the afferent arteriole and leaves through the efferent arteriole.The high hydrostatic pressure forces small molecules such as water, glucose, amino acids, sodium chloride and urea through the filter, from the blood in the glomerular capsule across the basement membrane of the Bowman's capsule and into the nephron. This process is called ultrafiltration. The fluid filtered in this way is called glomerular filtrate.Glomerular pressure is about 75 millimeters of mercury (10 kPa). It is opposed by osmotic pressure (30 mmHg, 4.0 kPa) and hydrostatic pressure (20 mmHg, 2.7 kPa) of solutes present in capsular space. This difference in pressure is called effective pressure (25 mmHg, 3.3 kPa).In hemodialysis centers, ultrafiltration takes place on the hemodialysis machines when the venious pressure is greater than the TMP pressure. It is also used in hemodialysis to clean whole blood while keeping its composition intact."@en }
