What condition would lead to an increase in the amount of fluid entering the bowmans capsule?
constriction of the efferent arterioles
What do massage techniques that alternately compress and decompress a joint capsule repeatedly have on the tissues?
They increase the fluid exchange inside the joint capsule, helping synovial fluid lubricate the surfaces so they have less friction.
What are Components of the renal corpuscle?
The Tuft of capillaries, known as the glomerulus, enclosed by a fluid-filled capsule called the Bowman's capsule.
The process of plasmalike fluid passing through the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule is called?
filtration
What is the fluid inside the cell?
The fluid inside the cell is the cytoplasm
What is the sac like structure that contain fluid or semisolid material in a thick capsule?
It is called a Cyst
What is the fluid called that lubricates freely moving joints in the human body?
In our joint cavities, there is a fluid known as synovial fluid. It allows the joints to move freely and serves to reduce friction that can occur when joints move together. It is made up of hyaluronic acid.
What Secreted by the membranes of the joints that make the smooth movement of the bones at the joints possible?
I believe youre asking what fluid makes the joints movement fluid... the answer is synovial fluid, made of mostly water. Its held between the bones by an overall structure called the joint capsule. There are smaller, more specific parts of the joint capsule, but I wont go into detail. Synovial fluid is not secreted by the joint capsule or the surrounding cartilage, however. Since the capsule is richly vascularized but poorly innervated, it just takes in water from the bloodstream whenever necessary to keep the capsule filled. It does not create its own synovial fluid.
What causes the sound of cracking knuckles?
If you pull on the joint capsule, the walls of the capsule expand and lower the pressure on the fluid inside it. The gas then comes out of solution suddenly and forms bubbles, which then pop making a popping noise.
Why are freely movable joints called synovial joints?
Because they are surrounded by a capsule which contains synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant.
What is the fluid inside most cells called?
cytoplasm
What is the process that is performed by the glomerulus that forms blood plasma without blood proteins?
Glomerular Filtration - a passive process in which fluid passes from the blood into the glomerular capsule (part of the renal tubule) Once in the capsule the fluid is called filtrate and is essentially blood plasma without proteins
