What are the horizontal vessels of the peritubular capillaries?
Blood leaves the glomerular capillaries via a second set of arterioles, the efferent arterioles, which deliver blood to the peritubular capillaries.
Define glomerular filtration rate Name and describe the pressures which are effective at the glomerulus under normal conditions and result in glomerular filtration?
Glomerular filtration is a passive process in which hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through a membraneThe glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is directly proportional to the net filtration pressure and is about 125 ml/min (180 L/day).The glomeruli function as filters. High glomerular blood pressure (55 mm Hg) occurs because the glomeruli are fed and drained by arterioles, and the afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than the efferent arterioles.
Know relationships and differences between Afferent vs efferent arterioles?
afferent glomerular arteriole a branch of an interlobular artery that goes to a renal glomerulus.efferent glomerular arteriole one arising from a renal glomerulus, breaking up into capillaries to supply renal tubules.Remember because they are arterioles NOT venules they they both carry blood away from the heart.
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.
Why is the glomerular capillary bed unusual?
unlike other capillaries glomerulus is connected to arterioles on both sides.It's pressure is higher than that of other capillaries and remains almost constant throughout the length of the capillaries.
The glomerular capillaries differ from other capillary networks in the body because they?
It is unique from other capillary beds in that it is supplied with and drained by arterioles, the afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole, respectively.
What condition would lead to an increase in the amount of fluid entering the bowmans capsule?
An increase in blood pressure or an increase in blood volume can lead to an increase in the amount of fluid entering Bowman's capsule (glomerular filtration rate) due to increased glomerular blood flow. This can be seen in conditions such as hypertension or congestive heart failure.
What does the glomerular capsule surround?
The glomerular capsule surrounds the glomerulus.
What effect does sympathetic stimulation have on the afferent arterioles?
Sympathetic stimulation causes vasoconstriction of the afferent arterioles in the kidneys. This response reduces blood flow into the glomeruli, which can decrease glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The effect is part of the body's mechanism to prioritize blood flow to vital organs during stress or low blood volume situations. Ultimately, this helps conserve water and maintain blood pressure.
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What blood vessel connects arteries to capillaries?
Arterioles.
What are cardiovascular adadptions?
incorporations of father arterioles by daughter arterioles
