How many of the following are true regarding glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? i) If the efferent arteriole is constricted, GFR will increase ii) If the afferent arteriole is dilated, GFR will increase iii) If oncotic pressure is reduced, GFR will increase iv) Renin is secreted as a result of high GFR Group of answer choices 2 4 1 3
Added by Richard G.
Step 1
This statement is true because constriction of the efferent arteriole will increase the pressure in the glomerular capillaries, leading to an increase in GFR. Show more…

Which of the following statements is/are true? 1. Urine is hypertonic in distal convoluted tubule. 2. When the urine passes into the collecting tubule it becomes hypotonic. 3. Urine is isotonic in proximal convoluted tubule. 4. Urine becomes more and more hypotonic as it passes through the Henle's loop. (a) $\mathrm{I}$ and 4 only (b) 1,2 and 3 only (c) 2 and 3 only (d) 3 only
Which of the following is not true regarding the proximal tubules of the nephron? The rates of reabsorption of water and salts are equal. The osmolarity of the filtrate is isoosmotic to the blood. Solutes that are not reabsorbed increase in concentration. Osmolarity of the filtrate increases due to the reabsorption of salts. Volume of the filtrate decreases due to the reabsorption of water.

Which of the following statements is false regarding the filtration that takes place in the kidneys? a) About 20% of the total plasma volume is filtered into the lumen of Bowman's capsule. b) Glomerular filtration rate (GFR): indicates how fast blood plasma is filtered through the glomeruli of the kidney c) It is primarily the systemic blood pressure that determines how much urine you produce. d) The filtrate consists of water, smaller molecules and ions that can cross the filter barrier
