Approximately 85-90% of the filtered plasma is reabsorbed at the capillary bed. This reabsorption occurs primarily through osmotic and hydrostatic pressure differences, allowing essential nutrients and fluids to return to the bloodstream. The remaining plasma that is not reabsorbed contributes to lymphatic fluid or is lost in tissue spaces. Overall, this process is crucial for maintaining fluid balance in the body.

What causes excess fluid in the interstitial compartment?

There is hydrostatic pressure within the capillary pushing the fluid out because fluid will always flow from high pressure to low pressure. At the same time there is something called blood colloid osmotic pressure which is the formed elements and larger plasma components such as proteins drawing fluid back into the capillary lumen by osmosis. The end result is that nearly just as much fluid that is filtered out at one end is reabsorbed by the time it reaches the other end. This is known as Starlings Law of the capillaries.What little excess isn't reabsorbed by the capillary will be picked up and returned to the cardiovascular system through the lymphatic system.

What is different about the capillary exchanges seen in a capillary with fenestrations and intercellular clefts and the exchanges seen in a capillary lacking those modifications?

Capillaries with fenestrations and intercellular clefts allow for different diffusion of substances depending on structural characteristics (and permeability) of the capillary. Fenestrated capillaries are found where absorption are a priority, such as the intestines or endocrine glands, or where filtration occurs, such as the kidneys. A fenestra is an oval pore covered (usually) by a delicate membrane, and is much more permeable than a plain plasma membrane. Intercellular clefts are gaps in the plasma membrane, or areas not joined tightly, and are another way substances can enter the cell. Almost all capillaries have these. Substances can diffuse directly through the plasma membranes of cells only if the substances are lipid-soluble (like the respiratory gases), and certain lipid-insoluble substances can enter or leave the blood by passing through the plasma membranes of endothelial cells within vesicles, by endo or exocytosis.

How much filtrate is reabsorbed in each part of the nephron?

In the proximal tubule, about 65-70% of the filtrate is reabsorbed, mainly through the process of passive and active transport. In the loop of Henle, about 20% is further reabsorbed, while in the distal tubule and collecting duct, the final 10% of filtrate is reabsorbed, with the amount varying depending on the body's needs for water and electrolyte balance.

How is the tissue of the kidneys structurally modified to aid in filtration?

FunctionUltrafiltiration: the process by which fluid is filtered out of the blood by the glomerulus.The blood pressure in a glomerulus causes part of the blood plasma to leak through the capillary walls. The red blood cells and plasma proteins are too big to pass out of the capillary, so the fluid that does filter through is plasma without the protein. The fluid thus consists mainly of water with dissolved salts, glucose, urea and uric acid.Selective Reabsorption: the process of absorbing back the substances needed by the body.The filtrate from the glomerulus collects in the renal capsule and trickles down the renal tubule.As it does so, the capillaries which surround the tubule absorb the substance the body needs back into the blood.** The glucose is reabsorbed with much of the water.Some of the salts are taken back to keep the correct concentration in the blood.*** Salts not needed by the body are left to pass down the kidney tubule with the urea and uric acid.They continue down the renal tubule into the pelvis of the kidney, passes down the ureter and to the bladder.
