Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Hydrostatic pressures in the renal vasculature of hagfish have been studied. Estimates of the blood colloid osmotic pressure (COP) have been made. In blood vessels supplying the renal corpuscles, the average hydrostatic pressure is about 1 kPa. The average hydrostatic pressure falls to a value of 0.04 kPa within the postcardinal vein efferent to the renal corpuscle. Within the glomerular capillaries the hydrostatic pressure averages 0.21 kPa. Since the blood COP averages about 1.4 kPa, it is clear that glomerular filtration in the hagfish is not underlain by the hydrostatic pressure of the arterial pulse. In some blood vessels efferent to the renal corpuscles, hydrostatic pressure may be as high as in the afferent supply. Evidence is presented that the glomerular capillaries are shunted by this high pressure vascular pathway. |
