Question

Is ultrafiltration another term for glomerular filtration?

Answer 1

Yes! Glomerular filtration is also called ultrafiltration.

Explanation:

'Ultra' means to an extreme degree : as in 'ultrastructure' i.e. fine structure seen under microscope. Thus we may say that ultrafiltration is same as microfiltration: in this case microfiltration takes place across a microscopic porous membrane.
