Increase the pressure (vessel constriction) or increase the size of gaps (pores) in the membrane, or both.

Property of life that involves increase in size and number of cells?

A property of life that involves increase in size and number of cells would be growth. All living things are capable of growth.


Membranes that line body cavities that open directly to the exterior are?

These membranes are called mucous membranes or mucosa. They secrete mucus to protect the lining and provide lubrication for various body cavities that are exposed to external environments, such as the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.


What type of epithelium would be most suited for high levels of diffusion and filtration?

Simple squamous epithelium would be most suited for high levels of diffusion and filtration due to its thin, flattened structure. This type of epithelium allows for a high rate of exchange of molecules across its surface.


Does the earth reproduce?

No. --------- It can, through intelligent organisms with technology. If people colonized mars and made it permanently habitable/ terraformed it that would be earth reproducing.


What is the function of serous membranes?

Serous membranes line and enclose several body cavities where they secrete a lubricating fluid which reduces friction from muscle movement.Serous membranes are responsible for secreting serous fluids. Some organs that have serous membranes are the uterus, stomach, pericardium (the area that surrounds the heart), the pleural cavity (the area that surrounds the lungs) and the paritoneal cavity (the cavity that lines the abdominal organs). Without the secretions of the serous membranes, these areas would be dry....can you imagine your lungs sticking to your ribs as you breathe? That would not be good!Hope this helpsA RN in NJ

What would increase or decrease net filtration pressure?

An increase in blood pressure, blood volume, or permeability of the filtration barrier would increase net filtration pressure. On the other hand, a decrease in blood pressure, blood volume, or an increase in plasma protein concentration would decrease net filtration pressure.

What is the effect of constricted arterioles in the glomerular filtration rate?

Constricted arterioles in the glomerulus can lead to a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by reducing the amount of blood flow entering the glomerulus. This can result in decreased filtration of waste and reduced urine production.


Dilation of the afferent arteriole decrease GFR?

Dilation of the afferent arteriole increases blood flow into the glomerulus, leading to an increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) due to the increased pressure on the filtration membrane. This can result in increased urine production.


Would you expect the standard of living to increase or decrease over time?

Increase


In a kidney which blood component would not usually pass through the membranes?

In a kidney, large blood components such as red blood cells and most proteins typically do not pass through the filtration membranes in the glomeruli. This is because these components are too big to fit through the small pores of the filtration barrier. As a result, they remain in the bloodstream while smaller substances like water, electrolytes, and waste products are filtered out into the urine.


How would you expect the standard of living to do over time?
