Question
On average, approximately how many litres of filtrate are formed in the kidneys in 24 hours?
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.
