Question

On average, approximately how many litres of filtrate are formed in the kidneys in 24 hours?
Options
A 1–1.5 litres
B 10 litres
C 180 litres
Correct Answer
D 500 litres
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

On average, about 180 litres of filtrate is formed in 24 hours. This high volume reflects the high glomerular filtration rate (approximately 125 ml/min), allowing efficient removal of wastes.

Hint

This is the total volume filtered by the kidneys daily, which is much larger than urine output.
