How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
Is pressure causes by gravity is always necessary for any filtration pressure to occur in the body?
No
What always occurs down a hydrostatic pressure gradient?
Filtration
Which force favors blood filtration?
Capillary hydrostatic pressure and interstitial fluid osmotic pressure
How does pressure affect filtration?
Pressure will increase the filtration rate all other things being equal.
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.

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.
What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
