Part 15: Net Filtration Pressure and Glomerular Filtration Rate

The net filtration pressure is influenced by what?

it is influenced by the glomerular filtration rate (GRF)

Glomerular filtration rate (GRF) is the rate at which what is formed?

it is the rate at which the volume of filtrate is formed

As the net filtration rate increases. what happens to the glomerular filtration rate?

the glomerular filtration rate increases

If the glomerular filtration rate increases, more or less filtrate is produced?

more filtrate is produced

If the glomerular filtration rate increases, more filtrate is produced increasing what?

more filtrate is produced increasing fluid volume

If the glomerular filtration rate increases, more filtrate is produced increasing fluid volume moving through what?

it increases fluid volume moving through the tubules

Increased fluid moving through the tubules results in more or less time for the reabsorption of substances from the tubular fluid?

it results in less time for the absorption of substances from the tubular fluid

When less substances are reabsorbed from the tubular fluid, more substances are excreted into what?

more substances are excreted into the urine

If systemic blood pressure rises, what happens to glomerular hydrostatic pressure (HPg)?

glomerular hydrostatic pressure (HPg) becomes high

If systemic blood pressure rises, what happens to the filtration rate?

filtration rate becomes high

If systemic blood pressure rises, what happens to filtrate volume and speed?

filtrate volume and speed become high

If systemic blood pressure rises, what happens to the materials reabsorbed?

material reabsorption becomes low

If systemic blood pressure rises, does the rate of materials become high or low?

material excreted becomes high

Glomerular filtration must be highly or slightly regulated?

glomerular filtration must be highly regulated
