Document Summary

Blood is coming into the afferent arteriole [aff means before, in front] blood coming into capsules. Goes into capillary network and comes out from something called the efferent arteriole [eff: means away] Color red coming in and out which means oxygenated. Don"t loose oxygen in glomeural capillary network. Afferent arteriole is larger than efferent arteriole. Plasma is literally forced out through capillaries into hollow space where it is known as filtrate. Blood pressure is what pushes it out. 20% roughly of all blood plasma that enters this capsule is forced out of the bloodstream into the capsule. Larger volume of blood going in than coming out so it goes out in hollow area capsular space. Panel c capillaries are highly perforated . Plasma plus all molecules small enough to fit through the hole goes out [large proteins carb, lipids do not go through] no cells should ever go.
