What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?
Decreasing the diameter of the efferent arteriole would increase the hydrostatic pressure inside the glomerulus and effectively increase the glomerular filtration rate. If you increase the diameter of the afferent arteriole you would achieve the same effect.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
Is the low pressure port and the low pressure switch the same thing?
no but its on the same line
IS ambient pressure and atmosperic pressure same?
yes
Why is the concentration of glucose the same in plasma and glomerular filtrate?
well u see it just is so stop doin ure hwk and do something worrth ding like having a fap
What is inside the glomerular capsule?
I am looking for the same answer too.... so I am not sure if I am right... My book says that simple squamous epithelium is used at the filtration membrane of the kidney i guess that they are implying the glomerular capsule but I am not sure. However it does make sense as simple squamous allows for rapid diffusion of material.

why not consider lateral earth pressure coefficient for hydrostatic pressure?
I think , hydrostatic pressure below the ground table is the same in all direction.i.e k=1
How do net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure each change along the length of a capillary?
Net osmotic pressure stays about the same and net hydrostatic pressure decreases.
Why is glomerulus a high pressure capillary bed?
The diameter of the afferent renal arteriole narrows progressively more and more into the glomerular capillaries, with the same blood flow, leading to an increase in pressure within the glomerulus. This is so that the high pressure can force solutes and water across into the Bowman's capsule for the renal tubules.

What is static pressure in Fluent. Is it the same as hydrostatic pressure. But why does it increase through the channel sometimes?
Is a closed circuit hydraulic system.
Is the glomerular filtration rate the same when the efferent arteriole is constricted and dilated?
OLD, INCORRECT ANSWER: Changes in the diameter of the efferent arteriole will either increase (dilation) or decrease (constriction) the blood flow to the glomeruli. An increased flow means a more blood getting filtered over time. NEW, CORRECT ANSWER The 'efferent' arteriole leaves the renal corpuscle. It is easy to remember which direction efferent and afferent things are going by thinking e=exit and a=arrive. If you constrict the efferent arteriole, you actually inhibit blood from leaving the glomerulus, thus increasing the outward hydrostatic pressure pushing fluid into Bowman's capsule and increasing filtration. If you dilate the efferent arteriole, then you reduce pressure in the glomerular capillaries and reduce filtration.
Does the bottom surface of a submarine experience the same hydrostatic pressure as the top surface?
No, it will be greater Imagine pressure as the weight of a column of water over an area, typically one sq. in. So the deeper you go, the greater the weight, the greater the pressure.
Because net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than net outward pressure of the arteriolar ends of capillaries?
The net inward pressure in venular capillary ends is less than the net outward pressure in arteriolar ends of capillaries because of two main factors: the hydrostatic pressure and the osmotic pressure. In venular capillary ends, the hydrostatic pressure is reduced due to the resistance of the venous system, while the osmotic pressure remains constant. In arteriolar ends, the hydrostatic pressure is higher due to the force exerted by the heart and the osmotic pressure remains the same. As a result, more fluid is filtered out of the capillaries at the arteriolar ends than is reabsorbed at the venular ends.
Does an exoskeleton function in the same way as a hydrostatic skeleton?
no
Does an exoskeleton function the same as an hydrostatic skeleton?
False!
