The afferent arteriole is larger in diameter than the different arteriole, so that glomerular blood pressure is relatively high.

The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism.

The afferent arterioles branch from the renal artery, which supplies blood to the kidneys. The afferent arterioles later diverge into the capillaries of the glomerulus.

The glomerulus (plural glomeruli) is a network of small blood vessels (capillaries) known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. Each of the two kidneys contains about one million nephrons.

The tuft is structurally supported by the mesangium (the space between the blood vessels), composed of intraglomerular mesangial cells. The blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier, which yields its filtrate of water and soluble substances to a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule. The filtrate then enters the renal tubule of the nephron.

The glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation. Unlike most capillary beds, the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles rather than venules. The resistance of the efferent arterioles causes sufficient hydrostatic pressure within the glomerulus to provide the force for ultrafiltration.

The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall kidney function, is the glomerular filtration rate.

1.How would you differentiate your heart rate before and after exercising?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Your heart rate before exercising would probably be the at rest rate of say about 50-60 beats per minute whereas immediately after exercise it could easily be say 115-130 and depending on age there is an optimum heart rate for each age range which decreases somewhat with age. Timing for a full minute your heart rate is best as it will give the actual count whereas if you just do it for 10 seconds and then multply by 6  it would assume it will be consistent whereas it could decrease during the minute so the actual measured count for a full minute is more accurate.

mr_godi [17]
RNA is an abbreviated form for Ribonucleic Acid. RNA is a nucleic acid that is present in the cells of all living things. Its primary function is to carry genetic instructions from DNA to ribosomes for the synthesis of proteins. There are three different types of RNA, these are messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA. Ribosomal RNA are transcribed in the nucleus and the are the RNA components of the ribosomes.
