|
| 33. | The glomerulus is a capillary tuft that receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation.
|
| 34. | This is composed of the capillary walls of the glomerulus which are wrapped by highly specialized cells called podocytes.
|
| 35. | Each glomerulus is composed of two compartments, the olfactory nerve zone and the non-olfactory nerve zone.
|
| 36. | Glomerulonephritis refers to an inflammation of the glomerulus, which is the unit involved in filtration in the kidney.
|
| 37. | The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney and is composed of a glomerulus and a tubular component.
|
| 38. | It is responsible for reabsorbing approximately 80 % of the phosphate that has been filtered out at the glomerulus.
|
| 39. | Instead, each gets a very clear one : Only neurons bearing one kind of receptor converge on a glomerulus.
|
| 40. | The diameter of efferent arterioles is smaller than that of afferent arterioles, increasing the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus.
