What makes up the renal portal system?
It is made up of the afferent arteriole which supplies blood to the kidneys. The glomerulus, which is the first capillary bed produces filtrate. The efferent arteriole takes blood from the kidneys. The peritubular capillary system, which is the second capillary bed reclaims most of the filtrate. Filtrate is what eventually becomes urine.
What is brisk capillary refill?
Capillary refill refers to how quickly the color returns to the external capillary bed following pressure that has been applied to an area. A brisk capillary refill means that the color returned to the capillary bed rather quickly.
The fenestrated endothelium of the capillary has pres small enough to exclude blood cells from the filtrate true or false?
true
What vessels are present in capillary bed?
capillaries
What is Glomular Filtrate?
Perhaps, you wanted to know about 'glomerular filtrate'. Glomerulus is a microscopic structure in the kidney, consisting of capillary networks. It is here where the actual filtration takes place. If you wring a wet towel, you can see how water is squeezed out. Likewise, in the glomerulus, high water (hydrostatic) pressure leads to filtration, and the filtrate is called glomerular filtrate.
What is the rich capillary bed and modified lymphatic capillary found within each villus?
lacteal
What are the two capillary beds that are in series in the excretory system of humans?
The first capillary bed in the series is the glomerular capillary, where filtration occurs. The efferent arteriole on the distal end of the glomerular capillary. Objects it to the next capillary bed in the series: the peritubular capillary. This is where secretion and reabsorbtion take place. This type of system is an example of an arterial portal system.
What are the three layers through which the filtrate must pass starting from inside the glomerular capillary through to the urinary space?
Glomerular Capillary Endothelium, Glomerular Basement Membrane, Visceral layer of Bowman's Capsule
How do portal vein differ for portal artery is function?
There is no portal artery. A portal vein connects one capillary bed to a second capillary bed. (in series)
What is the blood pressure of a capillary bed?
Pressure at capillary bed varies from 32mmHg at the arteriolar end to about 10mmHg at venous end, with an average of 17mmHg
What is an effect that adhesion produces?
Adhesion produces capillary action. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.
Trace the path of a red blood cell in a circuit that takes it from the capillary bed of the right kidney to the capillary bed of the left kidney Consider that you are doing this for an animal with a?
capillary bed of the right kidney---venules---veins---right atrium---right ventircle---pulmonary arteries---capillary of the lungs---pulmonary veins---left atrium---left ventricle---aorta---arteries---arterioles---capillary bed of the left kidney (ALMOST positive about the answer, I just had a test on it. Hope it helps!)
