Beef is the third most widely consumed meat in the world, accounting for about 25% of meat production worldwide, after pork and poultry at 38% and 30% respectively.
glomerular filtration. the process by which glomerular filtrate is formed, involving the balance of pressures across the walls of the glomerular capillaries. inherent filtration. attenuation of the primary x-ray beam as a result of its passage out of the x-ray tube through the insulating medium and tube window.
urine formation begins with this process. The filtrate is essentially but not totally protein free. Loss of substantial quantities of protein free fluid from the blood results in the colloid osmotic pressure increases such that blood leaving the glomerular capillaries has a higher than normal colloid osmotic pressure.
