Why does blood get filtered by the kidneys?
Blood pressure promotes filtration of blood in the kidneys by, generally, being greater in pressure than blood colloid osmotic pressure and glomerular capsule pressure which produces a net filtration pressure of about 10 mm Hg. Net filtration pressure forces a large volume of fluid into the capsular space. When blood pressure increase or decreases slightly, changes in the diameters of the afferent and efferent arterioles can actually keep net filtration pressure steady to maintain normal glomerular filtration. Constriction of the afferent arteriole decreases blood flow into the glomerulus, which decreases net filtration pressure. Constriction of the efferent arteriole slows outflow of blood and increases net filtration pressure.
What is ultimately responsible for glomerular filtration?
Net filtration pressure responsible for forming renal filtrate.
What is filtration pressure?
is the force responsible for moving fluid across capillary walls. It is the difference between net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure. NFP= Net hydrostatic pressure - net osmotic pressure
What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure increased above normal?
Net filtration would decrease. Source Mastering A and P book, chapter 25.
What would happen if the capsular hydrostatic pressure were increased above normal'?
Net filtration would decrease. Source Mastering A and P book, chapter 25.
How is effective filtration pressure calculated?
The Net Filtration Pressure (NFP) at the glomerulus is the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the blood colloid osmotic pressure acting across the glomerular capillaries. Under normal circumstances we can summarize this as NFP = NHP - BCOP or NFP = 35mm Hg - 25 mm Hg = 10mm Hg This is the average pressure forcing water and dissolved materials out of the glomerular capillaries and into the capsular spaces.
Glomerular net filtration pressure is best defined as?
The force of blood passing through the filtration units (glomeruli) in the kidney.
What is the formula to calculate the net filtration pressure?
FP = BHP - (CsHP + BCOP)
What factor will increase the net filtration pressure to move fluid out of the capillaries?
Increased blood hydrostatic pressure.
Can you describe three pressures operating at the filtration membrane and explain how each influences net filtration pressure?
The chief force is: 1. Glomerular hydrostatic pressure-- (HPg) Then, there are two opposing forces: 2. Colloid osmotic pressure of glomerular blood-- (OPg) 3. Capsular hydrostatic pressure -- (HPc) They influence Net Filtration Pressure in the following manner: NFP= HPg - (OPg+HPc)
What does high blood pressure do in the glomerulus?
the pressure in glomerulus creates higher net filtration pressure resulting large amount of filtration formed.
The net filtration pressure at the glomerulus that results in the formation of ultralfiltrate is?
estimated to be approximately 10 mmHg
