In general gamma radiation is used for sterilization purposes which disrupts the sub-atomic particles involved in the formation of the microorganism at an early stage by damaging their genetic material such as DNA or RNA with in their cells.

Capsular hydrostatic pressure is the chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood and across the filtration membrane.
frozen [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Capsular hydrostatic pressure is not the main force that pushes water and solutes out of the blood and through the filtration membrane.  On the contrary, this pressure acts against the filtration membrane, making it difficult for water and solutes to escape from the blood.

Increasing this pressure decreases the infiltration rate and causes obstruction of the urinary tract that tends to accumulate urine, causing a lot of pain to the patient with  Renal Failure.
