List and summarize the three pressures that contribute to create glomerular net filtration pressure (NFP)
What will be an ideal response?
Glomerular hydrostatic pressure (GHP) is largely systemic blood pressure. This pressure, 50 mm Hg, pushes fluids against the walls of the glomerular capillaries. Glomerular colloid osmotic pressure (GCOP), 30 mm Hg, is created by the presence of proteins in the blood. This pressure opposes filtration and pulls water, holding it in the glomerular capillaries. Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP), 10 mm Hg, also opposes filtration and is created by the filtrate accumulating in the capsular space.
