15 points is the answer
Hope this helps
Have a good day!
Hi there!
This answer entirely depends on what you mean. The largest type(species), or the largest known? Well, either way, I have an answer for you.
The largest type is a Hyperion.
The largest KNOWN is The General Sherman Tree! And it's still growing. At the base, its circumference is 31 meters.
Have a nice day!
The afferent arteriole is larger in diameter than the different arteriole, so that glomerular blood pressure is relatively high.
The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism.
The afferent arterioles branch from the renal artery, which supplies blood to the kidneys. The afferent arterioles later diverge into the capillaries of the glomerulus.
The glomerulus (plural glomeruli) is a network of small blood vessels (capillaries) known as a tuft, located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. Each of the two kidneys contains about one million nephrons.
The tuft is structurally supported by the mesangium (the space between the blood vessels), composed of intraglomerular mesangial cells. The blood is filtered across the capillary walls of this tuft through the glomerular filtration barrier, which yields its filtrate of water and soluble substances to a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule. The filtrate then enters the renal tubule of the nephron.
The glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation. Unlike most capillary beds, the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles rather than venules. The resistance of the efferent arterioles causes sufficient hydrostatic pressure within the glomerulus to provide the force for ultrafiltration.
The glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall kidney function, is the glomerular filtration rate.

<span>An
atom with an atomic number of 12 has 12 protons. Because the mass
number is the sum of the protons and neutrons, the mass number would
need to be at least 12. I hope this helped!
