A comparison of the volume of the filtrate formed per day with that of the urine released suggests that nearly:
1. 20% of the cardiac output is received by the kidneys.
2. 20% of the renal plasma flow is filtered at the glomerulus.
3. 99% of the filtrate has to be reabsorbed by the renal tubules.
4. 3% of the filtrate gets converted into urine.
