What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related what.?
arterial blood pressure and osmotic force
What chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
True.
Where filtration of blood takes place?
kidneys
What do you call the procedure draining a blood from the kidney?
filtration
What is the driving force in filtration?
Blood hydrostatic pressure
Glomerular net filtration pressure is best defined as?
The force of blood passing through the filtration units (glomeruli) in the kidney.
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related what.?
arterial blood pressure and osmotic force
What chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
True.
What is the most important force driving filtration at the arterial end of a capillary?
Blood hydrostatic pressure.
The kidneys launder the blood by?
Filtration
The chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is?
glomerular hydrostatic pressure (glomerular blood pressure)
What is the driving force for the filtration of blood by the renal corpuscle?
Higher pressure in glomerular capillaries than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule
Why increasing the size of the afferent arteriole increase volume of filtrate and rate filtration?
It increases the volume of blood at filtration site , increases the filtration gradient, and increases time of contact of blood with filtration site.
Are blood cells filtered out of the blood in the renal arterioles?
If the filtration slits of the filtration membrane are normal, then RBCs are not pushed out into the filtrate
The process of the kidney taking out the impurities from the blood?
The kidney removes impurities from the blood in two ways. These processes are known as ultra filtration and selective reabsorption. The active component of the kidney involved with filtration is the nephron.
What releases when the sympathetic nervous system responds to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate?
Increased sympathetic activity causes the afferent arterioles of the renal glomerulus to constrict, thereby reducing blood flow into the glomerulus. Because a decrease in blood flow reduces blood pressure in the glomerulus, which is the driving force for filtration, GFR decreases.
