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.
filtration: water out of capillary (due to capillary and tissue hydrostatic pressure) reabsorption: water into capillary (due to plasma oncotic pressure and tissue fluid oncotic pressure) T/F: blood pressure is higher than osmotic pressure in the venous end of the capillary. false, blood pressure is lower than osmotic pressure, so some fluid is recaptured by veins. -the rest of the interstitial fluid is picked up by lymphatics.
