What would happen to the filtration membrane if the water pressure is too high?
It will erupt at 101 iso
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
Does air pressure affect gravity?
Gravity is a function of mass and distance. So, no air pressure does not affect gravity.
How changes in altitude affect pressure?
At high altitude the pressure is lower.
Does mass affect pressure?
yes
What process assures that minor changes in blood pressure do not affect the kidneys filtration rate?
Autoregulation. You're welcome :)
How will a steady decrease in arterial pressure affect the body?
low blood pressure - need more food, like sugars. high blood pressure - the opposite
How do you increase filtration rate under constant pressure?
increase the area of filtration
Why does blood get filtered by the kidneys?
Blood pressure promotes filtration of blood in the kidneys by, generally, being greater in pressure than blood colloid osmotic pressure and glomerular capsule pressure which produces a net filtration pressure of about 10 mm Hg. Net filtration pressure forces a large volume of fluid into the capsular space. When blood pressure increase or decreases slightly, changes in the diameters of the afferent and efferent arterioles can actually keep net filtration pressure steady to maintain normal glomerular filtration. Constriction of the afferent arteriole decreases blood flow into the glomerulus, which decreases net filtration pressure. Constriction of the efferent arteriole slows outflow of blood and increases net filtration pressure.
What would happen to the filtration rate if you apply pressure to the filtration system?
It would increase
What would happen to the filtration rate if you were to apply pressure to the filtration system?
It would increase.
What would happen to the filtration rate if you were to apply pressure to filtration system?
It would increase.
What would happen to the filtration rate if you applied pressure to the filtration system?
It would increase
How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
What is ultimately responsible for glomerular filtration?
Net filtration pressure responsible for forming renal filtrate.
What drives filtration at the glomerulus?
blood pressure
What does high blood pressure do in the glomerulus?
the pressure in glomerulus creates higher net filtration pressure resulting large amount of filtration formed.
