How is a high blood pressure built up in a glomerulus?

Biology
1 answer:
sineoko [7]3 years ago
8 0
The glomerulus is supplied blood by the afferent arteriole, then the efferent arteriole takes away blood from the glomerulus. The afferent arteriole has a larger diameter than the efferent arteriole. The efferent arteriole, due to its smaller diameter creates some resistance to blood flow causing a blood back-up which creates a high pressure in the glomerular cavity. Therefore fluid and solute are forced out from the blood and into the glomerular capsule. Most of this filtrate is returned to the blood via peritubular capillary bed surrounding the nephron.

a man with blood group A marries a woman with blood group O and their daughter has blood group O. Is this information enough to
Nonamiya [84]
This information is not enough to tell which of the traits-blood group A or O is dominant.
It is known that blood groups A and B are codominant, which means both will express if found together in a heterozygote. However, blood group O is recessive. But from this information, you can conclude that blood group O is dominant. Why is that so?
Let's imagine that father's genotype is AA and mothers' genotype OO and cross them:
Parents:               AA    x    OO
Offspring:      AO    AO   AO    AO
Since we have information that daughter has blood group O, we can conclude that O is dominant over A and mask it. This is not true! In this case, the daughter will have blood group A.

Mother's genotype surely is OO (because O allele is recessive, so to express a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive). But, the father cannot be AA, because it must give O allele to the daughter so she can have genotype OO and blood group O. So, the father's genotype is AO.  Let's take a look at that crossing:
Parents:         AO   x    OO
Offspring:   AO   AO   OO   OO
Thus, in this case, daughter can have genotype OO and blood group O.
