Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
What structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
Describe the effect of increasing the beaker pressure on glomerular pressure?
An increase in beaker pressure causes an increase in glomerular pressure.
How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
Glomerular filtrate is very similar to?
plasma
What are the steps of filtration of blood in the kidneys?
These are 1. Glomerular filtration, 2. Selective re-absorption and 3. Tubular secretion. All these three steps are performed in kidney nephrons.
What are the 3 steps of blood filtration in the kidneys?
These are 1. Glomerular filtration, 2. Selective re-absorption and 3. Tubular secretion. All these three steps are performed in kidney nephrons.
What does the glomerular capsule surround?
The glomerular capsule surrounds the glomerulus.
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
Is plasma isotonic to glomerular filtrate?
yes.....glomerular filtrate is isotonic to plasma
Where does most of the fluid go after glomerular filtrtion?
Glomerular filtration is part of the process in the formation of urine. After the process of glomerular filtration is carried out, most of the fluid goes into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal corpuscle. Some of the fluid is reabsorbed by the body.
What is the factor favoring filtrate formation in the glomerulus?
the glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the answer
What structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
Which mechanisms reabsorb solutes from the glomerular filtrate?
Around 60-70% of the Glomerular Filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal tube.
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
