Distinguish between the location and functions of glomerular capillaries, peritubular capillaries, and vasa recta.

The capsular hydrostatic pressure is generally increases in capsular hydrostatic pressure than the glomerular hydrostatic pressure; the formation of additional filtrate. A) larger; facilitate 970 B) smaller; facilitate C) smaller; impede D) larger; impede

Describe the anatomy of the urinary system and why hematuria may occur in a patient who presents with an unstable pelvis with massive red markings on the lower abdomen

Enumerate the steps involved in pathway of blood through glomerulus.

Name the three layers of the wall of the glomerular capillaries.  Indicate how those layers influence whether blood cells, ions, water, proteins and glucose are filtered at the glomerulus.

describe decrease in number of glomeruli and decrease clearance of creatinine

Describe the relationship between blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate.

What types of substances tend to be secreted? What types of substances tend to be reabsorbed? Why do we use the term “reabsorption” instead of “absorption” in the kidney? Filtrate is formed by hydrostatic pressure forcing fluid to leave the glomerulus. The filtrate is then collected by the glomerular capsule. List all of the structures, starting with the glomerular capsule, that fluid passes through until it eventually leaves the body. After you have listed the structures, indicate where the fluid is called filtrate, where it’s called tubular fluid, and where it is called urine. glomerular capsule→

Which of the following describes the glomerulus? i) It is composed of capillaries ii) It is surrounded by the Bowman's capsule iii) It promotes filtration of large molecules into the nephron as filtrate i only O ii only Oi and ii only ii and iii only O i, ii, and i

What is the function of the glomerulus?
