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.
Filtration occurs because of the high pressure in the glomerular capillaries (P GC). The glomerular capillaries are unique in that they lie between two arterioles, the afferent arteriole and the efferent arteriole.Because of the added resistance of the efferent arteriole, P GC is higher than pressure in a typical capillary. The 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).he figure illustrates the forces that determine the filtration rate.
