The filtration pressure in the glomerulus is determined by the balance of two pressures that are colloid osmotic pressure and blood hydrostatic pressure.

A blood test called a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measures how well your kidneys are functioning. Glomeruli are little filters found in your kidneys.

These filters aid in clearing the blood of waste and extra fluid. How much blood flows through these filters each minute is determined by a GFR test.

Along with the permeability and surface area of the glomerular membrane, it is governed by the equilibrium of blood hydrostatic and colloid osmotic forces across the membrane.

Autoregulation keeps renal blood flow and, consequently, GFR constant between mean arterial blood pressure ranges of 80 and 180 mm Hg.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

These islands are barrier islands.

Explanation:

Barrier islands are islands in front of the mainland that separate part of the sea from the open sea. They lie parallel to the coast and have an elongated, narrow shape. On the sea side, dunes often shape the surface, on the land side they are flat. They were created by deposits of waves, currents and wind. Their formation requires a shallow coastal fore, a sufficiently large sediment store and a weak to moderate tidal range.

What are two global issues associated with using fossil fuels for energy?(1 point)
astraxan [27]

Answer: b. fossil fuels are nonrenewable, so humans will run out of them eventually. burning fossil fuels also contributes to global climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are limited and we will run out of them eventually. They cannot be replenished in a single human's lifespan. Fossil fuels contribute to the destruction of ecosystems, but not only that. They release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that warms the Earth. Therefore, anything other than B. would be incorrect.
