33
_______ charged basement membrane repels large anions such ad plasma proteins
Negatively
34

Mesangial
35
The kidneys filter the body's entire plasma volume __ times each day
60
36
________ is blood plasma minus proteins and cells
Filtrate
37
The mechanisms of urine formation are: 1. glomerular filtration 2. Tubular __________ 3. Tubular _________
reabsorption | Secretion
38
Glomerular filtration is a passive mechanical process driven by ___________ pressure
Hydrostatic Pressure of fluid against a wall due to gravity
39
Glomerular blood pressure is ______ than other capillaries
higher
40
_________ _________ pressure is responsible for filtrate formation and is determined by glomerular hydrostatic pressure (HPg) and two force that oppose HPg: 1. _______ _______ pressure of glomerular blood (OPg) and 2. ___________ pressure (HPc)
Net filtration pressure Colloid osmotic pressure capsular hydrostatic
41
NFP = _____ - (OPg + _____)
HPg | HPc
42
The glomerular filtration rate is?
Volume of filtrate formed per minute by the kidneys (110-125ml/min)
43
The glomerular filtration rate is governed by the _______
Net filtration pressure (renal blood flow), the membrane permeability and the total surface area
