Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
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.
What happened to the glomerular pressure as the afferent radius is increased?
increase afferent radius or decrease efferent radius depending on the degree of change in blood pressure
When water and useful molecules are drawn back into the blood due to osmotic pressure it is called?
Glomerular Filtration
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
Describe the effect of increasing the beaker pressure on glomerular pressure?
An increase in beaker pressure causes an increase in glomerular pressure.
What is the factor favoring filtrate formation in the glomerulus?
the glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the answer
The chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
glomerular hydrostatic pressure (glomerular blood pressure)
How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
What happened to the glomerular pressure as the afferent radius is increased?
increase afferent radius or decrease efferent radius depending on the degree of change in blood pressure
What are the factors effecting glomerular filtration?
blood pressure
The factor favoring filtrate formation at the glomerulus is?
The glomerular hydrostatic pressure
Materials are driven out of the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule because of?
osmotic pressure
As a result of excessively low arterial blood pressure glomerular hydrostatic pressure?
Drops and filtration increases.
What is used to form urine and requires a high blood pressure?
Glomerular filtrate
Define glomerular filtration rate Name and describe the pressures which are effective at the glomerulus under normal conditions and result in glomerular filtration?
Glomerular filtration is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membraneThe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to the net filtration pressure and is about 125 ml/min (180 L/day).The glomeruli function as filters. High glomerular blood pressure (55 mm Hg) occurs because the glomeruli are fed and drained by arterioles, and the afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than the efferent arterioles.
