As the glomerular filtrate passes through the uriniferous tubule, ions and water are exchanged (actively and passively) with the renal interstitium. These exchanges result in the filtrate being isotonic, hypotonic or hypeonic relative to blood plasma. What would be the tonicity of the filtrate passing through the renal capsular (Bowman’s) space?
