The movement of materials into Bowman's capsule is opposed by two forces.
1) Capsule pressure (CP) produced by the walls of Bowman's capsule and fluid already
inside the capsule.
2) Colloid osmotic pressure (COP) results from the proteins in the blood. Because most proteins do not pass from the blood into the filtrate, the blood is more concentrated than the filtrate. Therefore water tends to move from the capsule back into the blood.

What condition would lead to an increase in the amount of fluid entering the bowmans capsule?
constriction of the efferent arterioles
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 structures rely on fluid pressure for the movement of urine?
Many structures within the kidneys rely on fluid pressure. The glomerus, Bowman's capsule, and tubules are all parts of the kidney that rely on fluid pressure to move the urine components along.

The fluid inside Bowman's capsule is called?
filtrate
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.
When fluid is filtered out of the glomerulus what part of the nephron does it enterfirst?
Bowman's capsule
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 does glomerular filtration contain?
a filtrate fluid that oozes from the glomerulus and is collected by the Bowman's capsule.
Cup shaped structure through which the fluid part of the blood is filtered?
bowman's capsule
The process of plasmalike fluid passing through the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule is called?
filtration
Common features of synovial joints?
Common features:1. Articular cartilage - covers opposing bone surfaces.2. Joint cavity.3. Articular capsule - cavity enclosed by a double-layered articular capsule. Synovial membrane lines the capsule internally and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline cartilage.4. Synovial fluid: provides a slippery weight-bearing film that reduces friction. Also provides nourishment to the cartilage.5. Reinforcing ligaments: joints reinforced and strengthened by a number of ligaments.
