The movement of fluid into Bowman capsule is opposed by ________.
A) filtration pressure
B) capsular hydrostatic pressure
C) glomerular capillary pressure
D) osmotic pressure of the medulla of the kidney
E) blood pressure
Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure
The pressure within the capsule of a joint or within the Bowman's capsule in the kidneys, influencing filtration rates.
Bowman Capsule
A cup-like sac at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the kidney, which performs the first step in the filtration of blood to form urine.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Capsular hydrostatic pressure opposes the movement of fluid into Bowman's capsule by pushing against the fluid, trying to move into the capsule, thus opposing filtration.
