Solution
In a nephron, the blood flows through the glomerulus under great pressure. The reason for this great pressure is that the efferent arteriole (outgoing) is narrower than the afferent (incoming). This high pressure causes the liquid part of the blood to filter out from the glomerulus into the renal capsule.
