Net filtration Flashcards
1
Q
three pressures of net filtration
A
Glomerular Capillary Pressure
Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
2
Q
Glomerular Capillary Pressure
A
BP in glomerular capillaries
3
Q
mm HG of GCP
A
55
4
Q
Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure
A
BP created by the fluid already in capsular space and renal tubule
5
Q
mm HG of CHP
A
15
6
Q
Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure
A
Pressure created by the blood proteins of the body
7
Q
mm HG of BCOP
A
30
8
Q
what does NFP stand for
A
Net Filtration Pressure
9
Q
What is the role of NFP
A
The total pressure that promotes filtration
10
Q
mm HG of NFP
A
10
11
Q
Formula for NFP
A
GCP (55) - CHP (15) - BCOP (30) = NFP (10)
12
Q
How does GCP promote filtration
A
forces water and solutes in blood plasma to pass through the filtration membrane
13
Q
Opposes filtration
A
BCOP and CHP
