Watergate was a major political scandal that occurred in the United States in the 1970s, following a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. in 1972 and President Richard Nixon's administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement.
The main driving force causing glomerular filtration is: A. osmotic pressure of plasma colloids promoting filtration.
For instance, if the mean arterial pressure increases, renal autoregulation causes the afferent arteriole to constrict, preventing the pressure increase from being transmitted to the glomerular capillaries, and keeping the GFR from increasing.he figure illustrates the forces that determine the filtration rate. The pressure in the glomerular capillaries, PGC, favors filtration. Opposing filtration is the osmotic pressure due to the blood proteins (ÏGC) and the hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's space (PBS).
