By Mayo Clinic Staff. Common warts are caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). More than 100 types of HPV exist, but only a few cause warts on your hands. Other types of HPV are more likely to cause warts on your feet and other areas of your skin and mucous membranes. Most types of HPV cause relatively harmless conditions such as common warts, while others may cause serious disease such as cancer of the cervix.
The rate at which the glomerulus produces filtrate from plasma (the glomerular filtration rate) is much higher than in systemic capillaries because of the particular anatomical characteristics of the glomerulus.
At the venous end of the capillary, net osmotic pressure exceeds hydrostatic pressure. by 8 (25 minus 17) mmHg. This can be described either as a net filtration pressure of. -8 mmHg, or as a net absorption pressure of +8 mmHg. Either way, there is a. tendency for fluid to re-enter the capillary at its venous end. This amounts to a net. reabsorption rate of 12 ml/min across all capillary beds. It will be evident that net filtration at the arterial end and net reabsorption at the. venous end of the capillary do not quite balance.
