The filtration membrane includes what?

the main feature of the cell membrane is a phosopholipid bilayer. the phosphates form hydrophilic heads, with the fatty acids forming a hydrophobic tails. within this bilayer though there are often gycolipids (sugars attached to lipids), lipoproteins (lipids attached to proteins) and intergral membrane proteins (proteins 'woven' through the bilayer). this is a very simplistic veiw of the many many different types of membrane structures, with different members of each of those groups performing various indipendant actions.

What is the function of the glomerolus?

In the kidney, a tubular structure called the nephron filters blood to form urine. At the beginning of the nephron, the glomerulus /ɡlɒˈmɛrələs/ is a network (tuft) of capillariesthat performs the first step of filtering blood.The glomerulus is surrounded by Bowman's capsule. The blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron.A glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation. Unlike most other capillary beds, the glomerulus drains into an efferent arteriole rather than a venule. The resistance of these arterioles results in high pressure within the glomerulus, aiding the process of ultrafiltration, where fluids and soluble materials in the blood are forced out of the capillaries and into Bowman's capsule.A glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).


What is vesicular transport out of the cell?

Vesicular transport is an active process in which materials move into or out of the cell enclosed as vesicles. Vesicles are bubble-like structures surrounded by a membrane. They can form at the cell membrane or can fuse with the membrane. Solid particles, droplets of fluid or many molecules at a time can be moved across the membrane in vesicles. Vesicular transport is also known as bulk transport because large quantities of materials can be transported in this way. Th ere are two basic types of vesicular transport-endocytosis and exocytosis.

Describe the process of ultrafiltration in the tubules of the kidneys?

It is a process of membrane filtration. Industrial term generally refer to the membrane filtration to extend of macro-molecule like protein but not fine enough to separate ion like sodium and calcium. Many market application of ultrafiltration as water pretreatment before the process of Reverse Osmosis, thickening of solvent/emulsion, waste water recover etc. Example process of immerse hollow fibre ultrafiltration for waste water recovery: the fibre is immerse in the waste stream and the suction pressure drawn water pass fibre membrane to the inner hollow tube. The surface of membrane will need constant cleaning by purging out the media sheeting over the fibre surface. The end result is portion of recovered water and very concentrated waste stream that will be proceed to any future treatment and discharge.
