Three layers of tissue are responsible for filtration at the glomerulus.  Fenestrated capillary endothelium limits passage of:   formed elements glucose large proteins small proteins

How do water and salts exit the blood and convert into urine? In your answer, please discuss the following terms: glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, collecting duct.

Afferent arterioles are __________________ in diameter than efferent arterioles to assure __________________ pressure in the _____________________ A) Smaller; lower; glomerulus B) Larger; higher; glomerulus C) Larger; lower; glomerulus D) Smaller; equal; arcuate arteries E) Larger; higher; arcuate arteries

Compare the composition of blood plasma to glomerular filtrate.

Describe the relationship between blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate.

Trace a drop of water through the urinary system, beginning with the plasma in the renal artery and ending at the urethra. Now trace a drop of blood through a dialysis system. Compared to the kidney, where are areas that need to be improved in the dialysis system design?

Describe the path of urine from the from formation to exiting the body by filling in the blanks below: MINOR CALYX → ㅋ ㅋ →URETHRA

Which of these structures is least permeable to passage of material across the filtration membrane Choose from the following: (A) arrows - fenestra of the capillary endothelium (B) arrowhead - filtration slit bridging the gap between the pedicels

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

Chart the path of urine from the blood to the outside of the body.
