Explain how the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain a relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
The cluster of capillaries that forms a glomerulus arises from an afferent arteriole. After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood (minus any filtered fluid) enters an efferent arteriole whose diameter is smaller than that of the afferent vessel. This is instead of entering a venule, the usual circulatory route. The efferent arteriole resists blood flow to some extent, which backs up blood into the glomerulus, increasing pressure in the glomerular capillary.
What is the tendency of a community to maintain a relatively constant structure?

What role does the lamina demsa play in the renal corpuscle?
The lamina densa is a component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in the renal corpuscle. It provides structural support and acts as a filtration barrier, preventing the passage of large molecules like proteins from the blood into the glomerular filtrate. It also helps maintain the integrity and function of the renal corpuscle by separating the glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes.
