How to pronounce“glomeruli”in English

This is known as the glomerular filtration rate -- or how much blood passes through the glomeruli every minute.

Because, step one in pee-making is the process of glomerular filtration -- where blood is filtered in the little blood-filled balls of yarn that are the glomeruli.

So, just like water in a hose, higher pressure in the blood must push more plasma out of the capillaries and into the glomeruli.

If your blood pressure happens to increase, for example, the higher pressure causes the arterioles leading to your glomeruli to stretch.
