|
Hydrostatic Pressure |
the Pressure that a fluid exerts on the walls of it's compartment "pushing" The Glomerular blood hydrostaic pressure is the main drive of glumerular filtration as it forces fluid out of the glumerular capillary |
|
|
Oncotic pressure |
pressure of plasma proteins on the walls of the compartment in which they are contained . they "pull" water in glumerular capillary |
|
|
NFP |
= HP of glumerulus capillary - HP of the bowman's capsulale - oncotic pressure of the glumer. |
|
|
Control of GFR |
Vasocontriction of Afferent arteriole = increased arertiole resistance and therfore less blood filtered -> less filtarte produced Vsoconstriction of Efferent arteriole= increased resistance away from glumerourulus and therefore greater hydrostatic pressure in glomerulus forcing filtrate out -> more filtrate produced |
