3 In 24 hours human glomerular capillaries can filter as much as __________ liters of filtrate.
4 Which of the following statements about the filtrate in the renal corpuscle is false?
You correctly answered: Normally, more than 40% of the blood that enters the glomerular
capillaries becomes filtrate.
Experiment Results
Predict Questions
1 Predict Question 1: What will happen to the glomerular capillary pressure and filtration
rate if you increase the blood pressure in the left source beaker?
2 Predict Question 2: What will happen to the filtrate pressure in Bowman's capsule (not
directly measured in this experiment) and filtration rate if you close the one-way valve
between the collecting duct and the urinary bladder?
Your answer: Pressure will increase and filtration rate will decrease.

filtration rate when the blood pressure is increased?
Experiment Data
2 Which of the following does not have a significant impact on the glomerular filtration
rate?
3 In the absence of any regulatory mechanisms, what do you think would happen to the
glomerular filtration rate of a person who experiences an increase in blood pressure?
4 What would happen to the glomerular filtration rate of a person who experiences a large
hemorrhage?

Your answer:
2 Compare the urine volume in your baseline data with the urine volume as you increased
the blood pressure. How did the urine volume change?
Your answer:
3 How could the change in urine volume with the increase in blood pressure be viewed as
being beneficial to the body?
Your answer:
4 When the one-way valve between the collecting duct and the urinary bladder was closed,
what happened to the filtrate pressure in Bowman's capsule (this is not directly measured
in this experiment) and the glomerular filtration rate? How well did the results compare
with your prediction?
Your answer:
5 How did increasing the blood pressure alter the results when the valve was closed?
Your answer:
