Filtration occurs at the -------- part of the nephron?
In the Glomerules
The specific filtration structure of the urinary system?
glomerulus
Which structures form the filtration membrane in the nephron?
glomerulus and glomeral capsule
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related what.?
arterial blood pressure and osmotic force
What are two substances that do not leave the glomerulus during filtration?
RBC's and mostly all proteins
What are the layers in the renal corpuscle through which filtrate must pass to enter the capsular space?
The renal corpuscle filtration barrier is composed of: the fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillaries, the fused basal lamina of endothelial cells and podocytes, and the filtration slits of the podocytes.
What performs filtration?
glomerulus
Where does filtration of blood occurs?
glomerulus
Filtration occurs at the -------- part of the nephron?
In the Glomerules
Where does the process of filtration take place?
glomerulus
What drives filtration at the glomerulus?
blood pressure
The filtration of the blood in the kidney takes place in the?
Glomerulus
The specific filtration structure of the urinary system?
glomerulus
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 main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
What is the main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
Describe the stages of how filtration occur in the nephron?
In the glomerulus. Note this is not filtration of urine, it is the filtration of blood leading to the production of urine as a waste product.
