What are the three basic process that occur in the nephron?
Filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion
Is the glomerular filtration an ATP driven process?
no
Where does most of the fluid go after glomerular filtrtion?
Glomerular filtration is part of the process in the formation of urine. After the process of glomerular filtration is carried out, most of the fluid goes into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal corpuscle. Some of the fluid is reabsorbed by the body.
What is the process by which substances leave the glomerulus and enter the glomerular capsule?
Filtration
Where does glomerular filtration occur?
Blood filtration takes place in the kidneys ( specifically in the Bowman's capsule )....
What part of the nephron is involved in the glomerular filtration process of urine formation?
filtration takes place only at glomeruli part of nephron and nowhere else.
Why glomerulus filtration is called ultra filtration?
in the process of glomerular filtration all compounds such as amino acids,sugar,glucose and water are seprated from the blood.the pure blood is remaining.that's why it is called ultra filtration
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.
What does the medical abbreviation GFR mean?
Glomerular Filtration RateThe GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate, and assesses kidney function.
What is the process called where urea and other waste materials are removed from the blood during kidney dialysis?
This process is called hemodialysis.
How does glomerular hydrostatic pressure effect filtration rate?
As the Glomerular Hydrostatic Pressure (GHP) goes up, the Filtration rate goes up.
Is the kidney functional when the glomerular filtration rate is zero?
no
