What else can I help you with?
What are the three layers through which the filtrate must pass starting from inside the glomerular capillary through to the urinary space?
Glomerular Capillary Endothelium, Glomerular Basement Membrane, Visceral layer of Bowman's Capsule
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
The primary filter to exclude proteins from the filtrate is the?
The primary filter to exclude proteins from the filtrate is the glomerular basement membrane in the kidney. This membrane selectively allows small solutes and water to pass through while preventing large proteins from being filtered out of the blood.
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
What are microscpic wire loops?
Microscopic wire loops are lesions which can be detected during renal biopsies. They are easily detected due to their thickened capillary walls and are usually located between the glomerular basement membrane and capillary endothilium.
What role does the lamina demsa play in the renal corpuscle?
The lamina densa is a component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in the renal corpuscle. It provides structural support and acts as a filtration barrier, preventing the passage of large molecules like proteins from the blood into the glomerular filtrate. It also helps maintain the integrity and function of the renal corpuscle by separating the glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes.
Why is there no protein in the glomerular filtrate or unine?
Protein is typically absent in glomerular filtrate and urine due to the selective permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier, which consists of endothelial cells, a basement membrane, and podocytes. These structures prevent large molecules like proteins from passing through while allowing smaller molecules and water to filter through. Additionally, any small amounts of protein that may enter the filtrate are usually reabsorbed by renal tubules before urine formation. Therefore, healthy kidneys maintain minimal to no protein levels in urine.
What is the structure of respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.
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
The filtration membrane includes all except?
The filtration membrane includes the glomerular endothelium, podocytes, and basement membrane. The only thing it doesn't include is the renal fascia.
The layers through which the respiratory gases diffuse are known as the?
The layers through which respiratory gases diffuse are known as the respiratory membrane. This membrane consists of the alveolar epithelium, basement membrane, and capillary endothelium. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs through this membrane during respiration.
What is the respiratory membrane made of?
The Respiratory membrane: The wall of the alveoli are composed primarily of a single layer of squamous epithelial cells, called type I cells, surrounded by a flimsy basement membrane. See page 815 anatomy and physiology 8th
