Answer:
Glomerular Hydrostatic pressure
.
Explanation:
The basic function of the kidney is the formation of urine for elimination through the urinary excretory system. Two different processes determine this formation: the filtration of fluid through the glomerular capillaries into Bowman's space and the modification of the volume and composition of the glomerular filtrate in the renal tubules. The fluid passes from the glomerular capillaries to Bowman's capsule due to the existence of a pressure gradient between these two areas. This process is favored by two structural characteristics that make renal corpuscles particularly effective filtration membranes: glomerular capillaries have a much higher number of pores than other capillaries, and the efferent arteriole has a smaller diameter than the afferent arteriole, causing greater resistance to outflow of blood flow from the glomerulus and increasing glomerular hydrostatic pressure. Increased glomerular hydrostatic pressure (due to increased blood flow through the glomerulus) increases filtration, while increases in Bowman's hydrostatic pressure or urinary space (which remains constant, unless there is disease at that level, usually due to fibrosis) and plasma P. oncotic (determined by proteins, which tend to "drag" plasma into the glomerulus) decrease filtering. Resulting in a filtering pressure of 10 mmHg.
Answer and Explanation:
The steps of the sliding filament theory are:
Muscle activation: breakdown of energy (ATP) by myosin.
Before contraction begins, myosin is only associated with a molecule of energy (ATP), which myosin breaks down into its component molecules (ADP + P) causing myosin to change shape.
Muscle contraction: cross-bridge formation
The shape change allows myosin to bind an adjacent actin, creating a cross-bridge.
Recharging: power (pulling) stroke
The cross-bridge formation causes myosin to release ADP+P, change shape, and to pull (slide) actin closer to the center of the myosin molecule.
Relaxaction: cross-bridge detachment
The completion of the pulling stroke further changes the shape of myosin. This allows myosin and ATP to bind, which causes myosin to release actin, destroying the cross-bridge. The cycle is now ready to begin again.
The repeated cycling through these steps generates force (i.e., step 2: cross-bridge formation) and changes in muscle length (i.e., step 3: power stroke), which are necessary to muscle contraction.
Answer:
Prophase
Explanation:
During prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope, or membrane, breaks down. In animal cells, the centrioles near the nucleus begin to separate and move to opposite poles (sides) of the cell.
Answer:
long-read sequencing
Explanation:
a method of dna sequencing under active development
