Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
What is the factor favoring filtrate formation in the glomerulus?
the glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the answer
How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
The chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
glomerular hydrostatic pressure (glomerular blood pressure)
The factor favoring filtrate formation at the glomerulus is?
The glomerular hydrostatic pressure
Which side of the capillary bed has the highest hydrostatic pressure?
arterial
Why hydrostatic pressure is high at arterial end of blood capillary?
heart
Which end of the blood capillary has the high hydrostatic pressure?
arterial end
What type of pressure causes water to exit the arterial side of the capillary?
Hydrostatic.
What is the most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure.
What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?
Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
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)
