Arteriole radius increases; the glomerular capillary pressure A) As the afferent resulting in an increase in glomerular filtration rate; arteriole radius remains constant; what happens to glomerular B) If the afferent and efferent filtration rate when you exercise? decrease C) If the efferent radius decreased, the glomerular capillary pressure will result in a decrease in glomerular filtration rate: Question 8 C) Diuretics [ Select ] urine output thus [ Select ] blood volume and therefore [ Select ] blood pressure: D) Your patient's filtrate concentration inside the nephron before entering the loop of Henle is 300 mOsm. Because your patient eats a lot of Nacho Doritos, her interstitium concentration around the loop of Henle is 900 mOsm. Your patient's urine concentration is [ Select ] and her urine volume is [ Select ] when compared to reference.

Under normal conditions, an increase in systemic blood pressure will lead to... a) a vasodilation of the afferent arteriole to increase glomerular blood pressure b) a vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole to increase glomerular blood pressure. c) a vasodilation of the afferent arteriole to keep glomerular blood pressure constant d) a vasoconstriction of the afferent arteriole to keep glomerular blood pressure constant e) none are correct

Indicate whether each of the following factors would (a) increase or (b) decrease the GFR if everything else remained constant. 1. a rise in Bowman's capsule pressure resulting from ureteral obstruction by a kidney stone 2. a fall in plasma protein concentration resulting from loss of these proteins from a large burned surface of skin 3. a dramatic fall in arterial blood pressure following severe hemorrhage $(<80 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg})$ 4. afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction 5. tubuloglomerular feedback response to decreased salt delivery to the distal tubule 6. myogenic response of an afferent arteriole stretched as a result of an increased driving blood pressure 7. $\uparrow$ sympathetic activity to the afferent arterioles $8 .$ contraction of mesangial cells 9. contraction of podocytes
