Is glomerular filtrate nearly protein free?
true or false
What structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
Glomerular filtrate is very similar to?
plasma
Which part of the nephron receives fluid from the glomerular capsular space?
The filtrate from Bowman's capsule first travels to the proximal tubule of the nephron.
Why are red blood cells absent from the glomerular filtrate?
first off you need to know that glomerular filtrate is plasma that has entered Bowman's capsule. Now the reason why red blood cells are normally absent from the glomerural filtrate is because they are to big to pass into the Bowman's capsule. Source : class knowledge
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
Is glomerular filtrate nearly protein free?
true or false
Why is there protein in the glomerular filtrate and urine?
The inflammation would increase the permeability of your glomeruli. This retraction of the epithelium will allow the larger protein molecules to go through the filtrate.
Is plasma isotonic to glomerular filtrate?
yes.....glomerular filtrate is isotonic to plasma
Which mechanisms reabsorb solutes from the glomerular filtrate?
Around 60-70% of the Glomerular Filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal tube.
What structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
Glomerular filtrate is very similar to?
plasma
What is the factor favoring filtrate formation in the glomerulus?
the glomerular hydrostatic pressure is the answer
Does the Glomerular filtrate has a composition similar to tissue fluid?
yes
What percent of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed?
the nephrons produce approx 150 litres of glomerular filtrate per day 99% of which is reabsorbed to leave an average of 1.5litres of urine.
The factor favoring filtrate formation at the glomerulus is?
The glomerular hydrostatic pressure
