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.

Answer:

Rain makes up part of earth's water cycle

Water evaporates from streams, lakes, and oceans, then condensation and precipitation occur in the form of rain.

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure this question is implying that the answers should be directly related to the water cycle. While some of the other sentences might have some truth to them, they are too vague to be considered fact, and they're not necessarily related to the process of the water cycle.
