Suppose blood flow in the renal artery is restricted. What organ is this going to affect? A typical capillary has a high-pressure (arterial) and a low-pressure (venous) end. How does a glomerular capillary compare to this? What provides...
A dialysis bag placed in a solution will swell up and gain mass if the solution is what?(a) Will a dialysis tube swell/expand after being immersed in a beaker of water for several hours? (b) If so why has it swelled?A typical capillary has a high-pressur...

A typical capillary has a high-pressure (arterial) and a low-pressure (venous) end. How does a glomerular capillary compare to this? What provides the low-pressure end for the glomerulus and how does this arrangement increase the ability of the kidney...
