What is the transport is it when the blood pressure forces some water and solute particles from a blood vessel and into the kidneys?
Filtration is when fluids and solutes flow down their pressure gradient across a membrane such as in the glomerulus of the kidney.
Glomerular net filtration pressure is best defined as?
The force of blood passing through the filtration units (glomeruli) in the kidney.
Why does a fall in pressure sometimes lead to kidney failure?
Inadequate blood flow to the kidney, as with shock, can lead to a decrease in kidney filtration and, therefore, kidney failure.
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 is the name of the cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs?
The cluster of capillaries that in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus.
How will a steady decrease in arterial pressure affect the body?
low blood pressure - need more food, like sugars. high blood pressure - the opposite
How does juxtaglomerular apparatus help regulate blood pressure and filtration rate?
The apparatus is a microscopic structure in the kidney, the specific location of it helps to regulate the renal blood flow and filtration rate. It is regulated by secreting renin which activates the
How do nephrons in the kidney get damaged?
If your blood pressure is too high, as in the case of someone with hypertension, the glomerulus of the nephron can burst rendering that nephron useless. Without a glomerulus, the nephron cannot achieve pressure filtration, which is one of the main functions of the kidney.
If the water pressure damaged the membrane How might this relate to high blood pressure and kidney disease?
don't know I was hoping to find the answer here
Which process of the kidney is the least selective?
filtration
What part of kidney responsible for blood filtration?
Glomerulli in the bowman's capsuleGlomerular capsule (Bowman's capsule)The nephrons in the kidney are what helps with filtration
Where does filtration occurs in the kidney?
On the top on the kidney.
