Answer:

Tendon sheaths <u>act as friction-reducing structures.</u>

Explanation:

Tendon sheaths are fibrous tissue that is around tendons to protect and make the movements of these smoother. For example, they reduce the friction of the flexors and extensors tendons of the hand. These are tendons that we constantly use to open and close our hands when we want to grab objects. Without the sheath, the tendons will not move easily, and due to the excessive use, there can be inflammation.

The sheats have two layers, one internal, which is a synovial one that produces synovial fluid to lubricate the tendon, and the external, which is a fibrous layer.

The answer is ultrafiltration. This is helped by the hydrostatic pressure and blood pressure in afferent renal arteriole. Molecules such as water, glucose, urea, sodium chloride, amino acids pass through the semipermeable membrane of the dense capillary network of the glomerulus to form glomerular filtrate. Some of these molecules are later reabsorbed in the renal tubules.
