Question
Chapter 24.2, Problem 6R
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason due to which blood pressure is higher in glomerular capillaries than in other systemic capillaries.
Introduction: The process of filtration is done exclusively in the renal corpuscle, across the filtration membrane. The renal corpuscle mainly has two parts: the glomerulus and the Bowman’s capsule.

Why does the glomerulus have a high-pressure capillary network? Explain.
What is unique about blood flow out of the glomerular capillaries (Hint: what vessel drains them)? How does this help to explain why the pressure in the glomerular capillaries is higher than other capillaries?
What would be the impact of dysfunctional (leaky) glomerular basal lamina?What effect would this initially have on blood pressure?
