The chief force is:
1. Glomerular hydrostatic pressure-- (HPg)
Then, there are two opposing forces:
2. Colloid osmotic pressure of glomerular blood-- (OPg)
3. Capsular hydrostatic pressure -- (HPc)
They influence Net Filtration Pressure in the following manner:
NFP= HPg - (OPg+HPc)
What male reproduction carries sperm to urethra?
In male reproduction, the vas deferens is the tube responsible for carrying sperm from the epididymis to the urethra. During ejaculation, sperm travel through the vas deferens and mix with seminal fluid to form semen, which is then expelled through the urethra. This process is crucial for the delivery of sperm during sexual intercourse.

Urination is the release of urine, or liquid waste, from the kidneys. If you are male, your urine comes out of the penis; if you are female, you have a separate urinary opening - both of these are called the urethra.
What might be wrong with you if you feel the urge to urinate but cannot?
I always feel that way if I am under a lot of stress, my mom always says that it is stress induced incosistency. I can pee, but right after I do I still feel like I have to go. I don't know what it is for sure but that's what I was told. Hope it kinda helps. It could also be a urinary tract infection or a bladder infection. If you haven't been to a doctor, perhaps you could call your Drs. office and speak to his assistant or nurse.
Because that's the way the cookie crumbles.
What is urine culture and sensitivity?
Urine culture is when a doctor orders a urine specimen to be evaluated in a lab to determine exactly what kind of bacteria are living in it and causing problems. "Culture" means to grow, and they literally grow the bacteria so that they can test different antibiotics on it. Some antibiotics may kill the bacteria, and some antibiotics have no effect on the bacteria. This is the "sensitivity" part. If a bacteria is sensitive to an antibiotic, it would be a good choice for treatment of the infection. If it is not sensitive, the it is resistant to the antibiotic and it won't produce a cure.
