Glomerular Filtrate
Glomerular Filtration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
