What is glomerular filtration?

A fall in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).....

Write about the forces that promote and oppose glomerular filtration. Define GFR and give the normal GFR value in adults.

Assertion: The kidneys have built in mechanisms for the regulation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Reason: ANF mechanism is one such efficient mechanism.

What forces promote Glomerular filtration? What forces opposes them? What is meant by net filtration pressure?

Describe the process of glomerular filtration.

Assertion: Glomerular filtration requires expenditure of energy by kidney. Reason: Glomerular filtration occurs because pressure in the glomerular capillaries is lower than the pressure in Bowman's capsule

The accompanying figure shows reabsorption of some constituents of glomerular filtrate in different parts of mammalian nephron. What can these constituents be?

Indentify the biological term Homeostasis, excretion, glomerulus, urea, glomerular filtration, ureters, urine, Bowman's capsule, urinary system, reabsorption, micturition, osmosis, glomerular capillaries via efferent arteriole, proteins. Consists of the kidneys, ureters and bladder.
