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
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.
Is water concentration in urine the same as glomerular filtrate or greater?
The water concentration in urine is generally lower than that in glomerular filtrate. During the filtration process in the kidneys, glomerular filtrate contains a high concentration of water, but as it passes through the renal tubules, water is reabsorbed, leading to a more concentrated urine. Therefore, urine typically has a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water compared to the initial glomerular filtrate.
Is water in urine or glomerular filtrate?
Water is present in both urine and glomerular filtrate. Glomerular filtrate is the fluid that is filtered from the blood through the glomeruli in the kidneys, containing water, electrolytes, and small molecules. As this filtrate passes through the renal tubules, water is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, and the remaining fluid, which becomes urine, contains a lower concentration of water and waste products. Ultimately, urine has a different composition than the original glomerular filtrate due to this selective reabsorption process.
When less glomerular filtrate is formed what kind of urine is formed?
less urine is formed
Difference between filtrate and urine?
Until the liquid reaches the renal pelvis, it is "glomerular filtrate," when it reaches the pelvis, it is called "urine"
Is glomerular filtrate nearly protein free?
true or false
What is used to form urine and requires a high blood pressure?
Glomerular filtrate
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.
Glucose is found in glomerular filtrate but NOT in the urine because?
glucose is transported back into the bloodstream
Why are red blood cells or proteins not found in the glomerular filtrate?
. Since proteins are very large molecules (macromolecules), they are not normally present in measurable amounts in the glomerular filtrate or in the urine. The detection of protein in urine, called proteinuria may indicate that the permeabilityof the glomerulus is abnormally increased. This may be caused by renal infections or it may be caused by other diseases that have secondarily affected the kidneys such as diabetes mellitus, jaundice, or hyperthyroidism.
