What is the driving force for the filtration of blood by the renal corpuscle?

Biology
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Higher pressure in glomerular capillaries than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule.

Explanation:

The renal corpuscle is composed of the capillary glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule that covers it, there is a space inside the capsule, Bowman's space, where the filtered liquid from the glomerulus passes. The glomerular pressure must be higher than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule, so in that way it forces the filtration and tends to expel fluid from the glomeruli, allowing the passage of water, small molecules of solute and ions.

The large intestine is the largest internal organ; its role is the absorption of food, nutrients and water.

Hepatic Cells - Hepatocytes have many metabolic functions that enable them to have a rich blood supply.All hepatocytes participate in metabolism. processing of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, bile color - bilirubin, bile acids, vitamins, minerals and some hormones. Food proteins broken down to their constituents - amino acids, are used by the liver as a building material for the synthesis of its own proteins and plasma proteins, which have different vital functions in the body.

In the small intestine, digested food is converted to liquid and goes to blood.

Pancreas secretes the enzymes amylase and lipase (which are mainly used to dissolve fats) and participates in the chemical breakdown of food to absorb molecules into the blood.
