Moreover, the attachments are generally head to tail â that is the 1-carbon of the first isoprene is connected to the 4-carbon of the adjacent isoprene. Already discussed examples of such molecules include the polymers, natural rubber and gutta percha.
Reviewed by Walter Erhardt, MD. Capsular contracture is a breast augmentation complication that develops when internal scar tissue forms a tight or constricting capsule around a breast implant, contracting it until it becomes misshapen and hard. As a result, the breast may feel painful and stiff, and the capsule may affect the appearance or shape of the breast.
The figure illustrates the forces that determine the filtration rate. The pressure in the glomerular capillaries, PGC, favors filtration. Opposing filtration is the osmotic pressure due to the blood proteins (ÏGC) and the hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's space (PBS).The net glomerular filtration pressure is the sum of these forces.he pressure in the glomerular capillaries (P GC) is high because of the resistance to flow provided by the __________. 2. A blockage in urine outflow (perhaps due to nephrolithiasis) causes an increase in the pressure in Bowman s space.
