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.

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).
F: Cortex. The cortex is the outer part of the kidney. This is where blood is filtered. We call this process âultra-filtrationâ or âhigh pressure filtrationâ because it only works if the blood entering the kidney in the renal artery is at high pressure.ere is a diagram of the kidney showing a nephron broken up into six parts. Each part has a specific function. You can click on a letter to find out what that part does. Here is a diagram of a nephron put back together again. You can click on a green or red area to find out what happens there.
