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.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall is known as turgor pressure. It is generated by the osmotic flow of water into the cell, causing the cell to become rigid and maintain its shape.
Why must the water levels inside and outside the gas collection cylinder must be the same before the volume gas is measured and collected?
The water levels inside and outside the gas collection cylinder must be the same to ensure that the pressure inside the cylinder is equal to atmospheric pressure. This balance prevents the creation of a vacuum or excess pressure, which could lead to inaccurate volume measurements of the gas. Additionally, equal water levels help to eliminate the effects of hydrostatic pressure differences, allowing for a precise and consistent reading of the gas volume collected.
Why is the concentration of glucose the same in plasma and glomerular filtrate?
well u see it just is so stop doin ure hwk and do something worrth ding like having a fap
Is the low pressure port and the low pressure switch the same thing?
No, the low pressure port and the low pressure switch are not the same thing. The low pressure port is used for connecting a gauge to measure refrigerant pressure in the system, while the low pressure switch is a component that monitors the pressure level and can shut off the compressor to prevent damage.
What is inside the glomerular capsule?
I am looking for the same answer too.... so I am not sure if I am right... My book says that simple squamous epithelium is used at the filtration membrane of the kidney i guess that they are implying the glomerular capsule but I am not sure. However it does make sense as simple squamous allows for rapid diffusion of material.
why not consider lateral earth pressure coefficient for hydrostatic pressure?
I think , hydrostatic pressure below the ground table is the same in all direction.i.e k=1
Why is glomerulus a high pressure capillary bed?
The diameter of the afferent renal arteriole narrows progressively more and more into the glomerular capillaries, with the same blood flow, leading to an increase in pressure within the glomerulus. This is so that the high pressure can force solutes and water across into the Bowman's capsule for the renal tubules.
What is the difference between glomerulus and Bowman's capsule?
The Glomerulus capsule and the Bowman's capsule both describe the same thing. Either name can be used interchangeably. Both describe the capsule that envelopes the gomerulus and filtrates the incoming blood.
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.
What is static pressure in Fluent. Is it the same as hydrostatic pressure. But why does it increase through the channel sometimes?
Is a closed circuit hydraulic system.
Is the glomerular filtration rate the same when the efferent arteriole is constricted and dilated?
OLD, INCORRECT ANSWER: Changes in the diameter of the efferent arteriole will either increase (dilation) or decrease (constriction) the blood flow to the glomeruli. An increased flow means a more blood getting filtered over time. NEW, CORRECT ANSWER The 'efferent' arteriole leaves the renal corpuscle. It is easy to remember which direction efferent and afferent things are going by thinking e=exit and a=arrive. If you constrict the efferent arteriole, you actually inhibit blood from leaving the glomerulus, thus increasing the outward hydrostatic pressure pushing fluid into Bowman's capsule and increasing filtration. If you dilate the efferent arteriole, then you reduce pressure in the glomerular capillaries and reduce filtration.
What happens if the diameter of the efferent arteriole is constricted?
When the afferent arteriole is constricted it causes blood to be unable to flow into the glomerulus, overall decreasing hydrostatic pressure and causing the bowman's capsule to decrease filtration.
How do net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure each change along the length of a capillary?
Net hydrostatic pressure decreases along the length of a capillary due to resistance and filtration of fluid out of the capillary. In contrast, net osmotic pressure remains relatively constant along the capillary length, as proteins and solutes that contribute to osmotic pressure do not leave the capillary as easily.
Does fluid pressure remains the same at all depths?
No, fluid pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the overlying fluid pushing down. This is known as hydrostatic pressure.
Why hydrostatic pressure is a scalar quantity even through pressure is force divided by area?
I'm guessing that your issue is that force is a vector quantity? It turns out that hydrostatic force is always normal to the surface, so it can be treated as a scalar; only the magnitude is important.
Does the bottom surface of a submarine experience the same hydrostatic pressure as the top surface?
No, it will be greater Imagine pressure as the weight of a column of water over an area, typically one sq. in. So the deeper you go, the greater the weight, the greater the pressure.
