not a blood in plasma
Answers
Answer:
1200 ml of plasma is filtered by the glomerulus per minute
Answer:
Kidney is the main organ that removes nitrogenous waste from the blood while balancing the body fluids. Urine is the excretion product of the kidneys. The micro-functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. There are about 1 million nephrons in a kidney. The renal cell and the renal tubule are the two main structural components of a nephron. The renal corpuscle is composed of a Bowman capsule and a glomerulus. The renal tubule is made up of proximal and distal convoluted tubules, the hennel loop, and a collecting duct. Renal cell is also called Malpighian capsule. The main difference between the Bowman capsule and the Malfijie capsule is that the Bowman capsule receives filtering of the glomerulus while the Malpighian capsule filters the blood
The glomerular endothelium sits on a very thick (250–350 nm) (250 –350 nm) glomerular basement membrane. Not only is it unexpectedly thick in comparison to other tehlano's membranes (40–60 nm), but it is rich in negatively charged (glycosmingoglycans) such as heparan sulfate.
The negatively charged basement membrane repels negatively-charged proteins in the blood, helping it to block its passage into Bowman's place.
