Get Rid of Stress. Stress is a common reason people have bloating and gas, even more so with pregnancy. Tension causes some people to eat more and eat faster, and either can cause you to swallow more air and increase the gas and associated bloating. Chewing gum and using a straw also increases air into the stomach.
A glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
1 Renal Artery â brings waste-filled blood from the aorta to the kidney for filtering in the nephron. 2  Glomerulus â each glomerulus is a cluster of blood capillaries surrounded by a Bowmanâs capsule. 3  It looks similar to a ball of tangled yarn. Cortex â the outer region of the kidney; extensions of the cortical tissue, contains about one million blood filtering nephrons. 2  Nephron â these are the filtration units in the kidneys. 3  Medulla â inner region of the kidney contains 8-12 renal pyramids.
