Explain hydrostatic pressure?
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a liquid when it is at rest. It is directly proportional to the height of a liquid column of uniform density.
What is the scientific term for water pressure?
hydrostatic pressure
The hydrostatic pressure varies with water depth?
Hydrostatic pressure increases by the density of the substance multiplied by gravitational constant and depth.
What factors affect hydrostatic pressure?
depth of liquid and density of the liquid
Why does a balloon change shape when filled with water?
The water produces hydrostatic pressure
What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure were increased above normal'?
Net filtration would decrease. Source Mastering A and P book, chapter 25.
What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure increased above normal?
Net filtration would decrease. Source Mastering A and P book, chapter 25.
Can you describe three pressures operating at the filtration membrane and explain how each influences net filtration pressure?
The chief force is: 1. Glomerular hydrostatic pressure-- (HPg) Then, there are two opposing forces: 2. Colloid osmotic pressure of glomerular blood-- (OPg) 3. Capsular hydrostatic pressure -- (HPc) They influence Net Filtration Pressure in the following manner: NFP= HPg - (OPg+HPc)
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
What is hydrostatic pressure in renal corpuscle?
BHP, blood hydrostatic pressure
What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
Is the capillary hydrostatic pressure always higher than the interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure?
no
What is the factor favoring filtrate formation in the glomerulus?
the glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the answer
What is The hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule?
The hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule is around 15 mm Hg.
How hydrostatic pressure is generated in the heart?
Hydrostatic pressure is generated by the systole (contraction of the ventricles).
How shall you make the hydrostatic pressure test or the steps to follow?
procedures in testing hydrostatic pressure in fluid(water)
