-
by changing the pressure within the glomerulus.
-
Of course this was a picture I showed you last time
-
of the actual filtration membrane, the surface of these capillaries
-
where this pressure drop acts and through which
-
large things are filtered out.
-
Here's a cartoon of the glomerulus and this cartoon
-
actually shows several things.
-
One it shows the arteriole, the afferent arteriole
-
that's coming in and the afferent arteriole that's going out
-
and so here's the tuft of capillaries that make up the glomerulus.
-
Here's Bowman's space, which is ready to catch the filtrate.

This first arrow here represents the filtrate
