Know relationships and differences between Afferent vs efferent arterioles?
afferent glomerular arteriole a branch of an interlobular artery that goes to a renal glomerulus.efferent glomerular arteriole one arising from a renal glomerulus, breaking up into capillaries to supply renal tubules.Remember because they are arterioles NOT venules they they both carry blood away from the heart.
What is filtered seawater substance or mixture?
It is a mixture because there are still multiple small elements left in it, for example minerals like chalk cannot be filtered but do not affect the taste etc By alex, 12
Why aren't red blood cells filtered out of the blood into the bowman's capsule?
Almost everything is filtered into the bowman's capsule, but red blood cells and plasma proteins are a lot larger than all of the other substances that are filtered such as salt, water, and sugars. Red blood cells are too big to be filtered through this system, so remain in the capillaries.
Can you use the 3d glasses for a solar eclipse?
No, this is because none of the light is filtered. Therefore this will harm your eyes even more.
Is an oxygen molecule an organic compound?
It is not organic because it contains no carbon, and it is not a compound because it contains one kind of atom.
Explain how the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain a relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
The cluster of capillaries that forms a glomerulus arises from an afferent arteriole. After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood (minus any filtered fluid) enters an efferent arteriole whose diameter is smaller than that of the afferent vessel. This is instead of entering a venule, the usual circulatory route. The efferent arteriole resists blood flow to some extent, which backs up blood into the glomerulus, increasing pressure in the glomerular capillary.

Why is glomerulus a high pressure capillary bed?
The diameter of the afferent renal arteriole narrows progressively more and more into the glomerular capillaries, with the same blood flow, leading to an increase in pressure within the glomerulus. This is so that the high pressure can force solutes and water across into the Bowman's capsule for the renal tubules.
How high blood pressure built up in the glomerulus?
It builds up because the calibre of the efferent arteriole is less than that of the afferent arteriole. The cappilary pressure is opposed by the lower osmotic pressure or the blood and the lower filtrate hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule.
The glomerular capillaries differ from other capillary networks in the body because they?
It is unique from other capillary beds in that it is supplied with and drained by arterioles, the afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole, respectively.
How does glomerulonephritis interfere with fluid and electrolyte balance?
In glomerulonephritis, the glomerulus in the nephrons of the kidneys become clogged and are unable to filter the plasma to turn it into urine. Your vessels become overloaded with fluid. This causes an increase in H20 because it is not being filtered out and a decrease in the concentration of Na+.
Why is it reabsorption instead of absorption?
I would think because as the already absorbed water in the blood passes through the glomerulus, and is filtered, what is needed becomes RE-absorbed through the convoluted tubule through osmosis. Feel free to correct me if needed, just learning this stuff!
Materials are driven out of the glomerulus into the glomerular capsule because of?
osmotic pressure
Describe the importance of filtration in urine production?
The filtration of urine production results in the filtering the essential minerals and proteins that are required by the body. The filtrate is future processed through the stages of secretion, re-absorption and finally reaching the stage of excretion.
Why are glomeruli considered as dialysis bags?
Glomerulus are considered as dialysis bags because in nephron glomerulus filters the blood by not absorbing unwanted salts and urea back ,also by dialysis machine filteration of blood is done but artificialy. Therefore,we can say that glomerulus is considered as dialysis bag.
You are advertising a product which contains chitosan which is not kosher. However liquids are only being being filtered through chitosan. Is it or is it not kosher.?
It's not kosher because it touched the chitosan. If it did not touch it, then it would be kosher.
What would happen if the blood is not filtered?
If urine wasn't filtered in the kidney, the particles in the urine would cause your genitals to explode.
