Looking at the microscopic structure ot the tubules in an un- hardened section of kidney, it seems to me impossible that the tubules can stand open by their own elasticity. Their walls are formed ot a watery colloidal solution, and practically must transmit the capillary pressure equally in all directions.

I think, therefore, no filtration pressure can exist. 1 believe that the glomerular venule is smaller than the arteriole, not so as to increase the blood pressure in the glomerulus, but because the capsule secretes water, and a smaller volume of more concentrated blood passes away from than enters the.
