<span>Decrease. Net filtration is the equilibrium force that can be measured in the capsular space of the renal corpuscle. This determines how much water and small dissolved solutes leave the blood in the glomerulus. The equation for net filtration is: (IFOP); NFP = GBHP - (CHP + BCOP). The Net Filtration is generally around 10 mm Hg.</span>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Receptors are highly specific and only have high affinity for those ligands for whom they are specific.

Explanation:

Receptors are proteins that receive a stimulus or bind a ligand and mediate effects via receptor effector system.

Receptors are macromolecules that are highly specific.

The affinity between the ligand and the receptors is determind by the disassociation constant Kd.

The receptors produce maximun effect when an appropriate specific stimulus is present.

Different recptors types are present for different ligands.

For example, muscrinic receptors are specific for acetycholine and adrenergic receptors are specific for adrenaline/nor adrenaline.

It is important to know the specificity so that the body remains in a state of balance.

You went running on a hot day. After your run, you sit down and feel very warm. How is homeostasis reacting?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

When you run, your muscles use energy and contract. This contraction and use of muscle fibers produces heat, lactic acid, and carbon dioxide. Your body will attempt to correct homeostasis by sweating to cool down your body (When the water in your sweat evaporates, it takes some heat energy with it), you breath harder to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide, and your blood attempts to clear the lactic out of your muscles.
