Answer:

The correct answer would be option first - It is a traditional nautical term.

Explanation:

In early 17th century sailors used to measure the speed of the ship by the device called a common log. This device was a coil of rope with several knots placed uniformally to it, attached to a slice of pie like shaped piece of wood. It was allowed to flow freely in the sea for specific time and pulled back after particular time.

Thus, the correct answer would be option first It is a traditional nautical term.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

initially, collects in the structure indicated by the letter B

Explanation:

Filtrate is formed as fluid is forced through the walls of the glomerulus and, initially, collects in the structure indicated by the letter B.

Urine formed by a kidney collects in the renal pelvis before being drained from the kidney by the urethra and transported to the urinary bladder.

The process by which glomerulus filtration occurs is called renal ultrafiltration. The force of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus (the force of pressure exerted from the pressure of the blood vessel itself) is the driving force that pushes filtrate out of the capillaries and into the slits in the nephron.
