1. Consider the urinary system
(a) What are the three basic renal processes leading to urine
formation?
(b) Consider the net filtration pressure (NFP) according to the
following information, Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure
(GBHP): 90 mmHg Capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP): 35 mmHg Blood
colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP): 40 mmHg Mean arterial pressure
(MAP): 93 mmHg
(i) Calculate the net filtration pressure (NFP). Show your
calculations.
(ii) Suppose a tumor is pressing on and obstructing the left
ureter. What affect might...
