|
| What is the composition of the Glomerular Filtrate? |
SMALL Plasma solutes (NO Cell or Proteins) |
| Why aren't Cells and Proteins processes through Glomerular Filtration? |
too LARGE |
| What is GCP? |
Glomerular Capillary Pressure - 55 mm Hg |
| What is BCP? |
Bowman's Capsule Pressure - 15 mm Hg |
| What is GOP? |
Glomerular Osmotic Pressure - 30 mm Hg |
| What is the Net Filtration Pressure? |
10 mm Hg |
| Where does Glomerular Filtration occur? |
from Glomerulus (capillaries) --> Bowman's Capsule |
| Which Filtration Force is the stongest? |
GCP is the Primary Driving Force pushing Solutes through |
| What type of solution is in the Bowman's Capsule? |
Hypotonic solution = HIGH H2O |
| What type of solution is in the Glomerulus? |
Hypertonic = LOW H2O |
