| Description: Driven by blood pressure Opposed by capsular hydrostatic pressure and blood colloid osmotic pressure Water and small molecules move out of the glomerulus. In one day, 150–180 liters of water pass out into the glomerular capsule. Glomerular filtration rate – amount of filtrate formed by both kidneys each minute Homeostasis requires kidneys to maintain a relatively constant GFR Too high – substances pass too quickly and are not reabsorbed Too low – nearly all reabsorbed and some waste products not adequately excreted GFR averages 125mL/min in males and 105mL/min in females Controlled by: Renal Autoregulation Neural Regulation Hormonal Regulation Picture Stats: Views: 166 Filesize: 1.09MB Height: 864 Width: 1346 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=40854 |
