What else can I help you with?
Is the afferent arteriole entering the glomerulus always thicker than the efferent arteriole leaving the glomerulus?
It always has a widre lumen so that blood is forced to diffuse and filter. This puts a little more stress on the afferent arteriole and so a slight increase in the thickness of the tunica media may be noted.
Which arteriole supplies blood to the capillary of the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole supplies blood to the capillaries in the glomerulus of the kidneys. The efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus.
Increased blood pressure in the glomerulus?
Blood pressure in the glomerulus in very high. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!! :D
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
What is the immediate destination of blood pumped from the right ventricle of the heart?
The immediate destination of blood pumped from the right ventricle of the heart is the pulmonary arteries. From there, the deoxygenated blood is transported to the lungs, where it undergoes gas exchange to become oxygenated. This process is essential for replenishing the blood with oxygen before it returns to the left side of the heart.
Where does filtration of blood occurs?
Filtration of blood occurs in the kidneys, specifically in the glomerulus within the nephron. The glomerulus filters waste and excess substances from the blood into the renal tubules for further processing and excretion as urine.
What feeds the glomerulus and what drains the glomerulus?
Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and drains through the efferent arteriole.
Where would you find the glomerulus?
The glomerulus is found in the kidneys. It is a cluster of tiny blood vessels where blood is filtered to form urine.
What is the structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney?
The structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney is the efferent arteriole. This arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus and plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow and pressure within the kidney.
What Blood vessel located between afferent and efferent arterioles?
Glomerulus capillary
What can be flitered in the glomerulus?
Blood is filtered there.
Do blood cells pass from the glomerulus to Bowmans capsule?
Blood cells do not normally pass from the glomerulus, which is a cluster of capillaries in the kidney, to Bowman's capsule, the structure surrounding the glomerulus. The capillaries in the glomerulus are lined with specialized cells that prevent the passage of blood cells into the urine-forming structures such as Bowman's capsule.
