Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
What C-shaped structure in the nephron surrounds the glomerulus?
Bowman's Capsule
Do blood cells pass from the glomerulus to Bowmans capsule?
Yes, filtered blood from the glomerulus passes to the Bowman's capsule also called the renal capsule.
Which layer of the bowmans capsule do the special cells known as podocytes belong?
visceral
What condition would lead to an increase in the amount of fluid entering the bowmans capsule?
constriction of the efferent arterioles
What is The hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule?
The hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule is around 15 mm Hg.
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
What drives plasma from the blood into Bowman's capsule?
'''Hydrostatic and osmotic pressure gradients drive protein-free plasma from the blood across the walls of the glomerular capillaries and into the Bowman?s capsule.'''
What would happen to net filtration pressure at the glomerulus if proteins began to leak from the glomerular capillaries into Bowmans capsule?
Are you in C34?
What C-shaped structure in the nephron surrounds the glomerulus?
Bowman's Capsule
A cup-like structure that encases the glomerulus is?
bowmans capsule
Which layer of the bowmans capsule do the special cells known as podocytes belong?
visceral
Do blood cells pass from the glomerulus to Bowmans capsule?
Yes, filtered blood from the glomerulus passes to the Bowman's capsule also called the renal capsule.
Where does the word bowmans capsule came from?
Bowman's capsule is named after Sir William Bowman (1816-1892), a British surgeon and anatomist.
The thin barrier at the Bowmans capsule allows for the filtration of what?
Glomular filtrate, blood plasma
In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
Why does a rattlesnake bite cause blood to appear in the urine?
Rattlesnake venom breaks down the walls of glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron which is located in tour kidneys. The glomerulus filters your blood and the un needed material gets sent to the bowmans capsule in the nephron. The the gunk from the bowmans capsule makes its way into the urine. So when a rattlesnake bites you the blood goes right into you bowmans capsule making its way into the urine.
