List and summarize the forces that influence filtration across the walls of glomerular capillaries.

Explain the concept of net filtration pressure. Describe the two main forces that drive the direction of fluid flow as you move across a given capillary. How do these forces change from the arterial end to the venous end of the capillary?
Sri K.
What are the different "forces" or "pressures" associated with the glomerulus and the capsule that determine the net filtration pressure (NFP) and GFR? What is responsible for the value of the glomerular hydrostatic pressure? What is responsible for the value of the capsular hydrostatic pressure? What is responsible for the value of the osmotic pressure? 2. Where are the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus located, what is their purpose, and what do they become? 3. In detail, explain what (and how) determines/influences the amount of water remaining in the feces.
