No, glomerular hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure within the glomerular capillaries of the kidney, while hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule refers to the pressure within Bowman's capsule surrounding the glomerulus. The difference in these pressures influences the filtration of blood in the renal corpuscle.
The force that favors blood filtration in the kidneys is called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is generated by the heart pumping blood into the glomerulus, forcing water and small solutes out of the blood and into the Bowman's capsule.
Bowman's Capsule
BHP, blood hydrostatic pressure
The pressure in a liquid at a given depth is called the hydrostatic pressure. This can be calculated using the hydrostatic equation: P = rho * g * d, where P is the pressure, rho is the density of the liquid, g is gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and d is the depth (or height) of the liquid.
The hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule is around 15 mm Hg.
No, glomerular hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure within the glomerular capillaries of the kidney, while hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule refers to the pressure within Bowman's capsule surrounding the glomerulus. The difference in these pressures influences the filtration of blood in the renal corpuscle.
The pressure gradient created by blood pressure forces plasma from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman's capsule. This process is known as glomerular filtration and is the first step in urine formation in the kidneys.

Capsular hydrostatic pressure refers to the fluid pressure within the glomerular capsule of the kidney. It is involved in the process of filtration of blood to form urine, along with blood pressure and oncotic pressure. An increase in capsular hydrostatic pressure can affect the rate of urine formation.

Bowman's capsule is named after Sir William Bowman (1816-1892), a British surgeon and anatomist.
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
The force that favors blood filtration in the kidneys is called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is generated by the heart pumping blood into the glomerulus, forcing water and small solutes out of the blood and into the Bowman's capsule.
Rattlesnake venom breaks down the walls of glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron which is located in tour kidneys. The glomerulus filters your blood and the un needed material gets sent to the bowmans capsule in the nephron. The the gunk from the bowmans capsule makes its way into the urine. So when a rattlesnake bites you the blood goes right into you bowmans capsule making its way into the urine.
