If blood pressure increases, which of the following pressures that determine the net filtration pressure through the nephrons will be impacted directly: Multiple Choice blood colloid osmotic pressure of the glomerulus (OPG) capsular colloid osmotic pressure (OPcs) capsular hydrostatic pressure (HPcs) glomerular hydrostatic pressure (HPG)

Step 1
Step 1: The net filtration pressure is the difference between the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries and the hydrostatic pressure in Bowman's capsule, minus the osmotic pressure of the blood. Show more…

Fred has a kidney stone, blocking part of his right ureter. What effect, if any, would this have on the net glomerular filtration rate? Blood colloid osmotic pressure would increase, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. Capsular hydrostatic pressure would increase, decreasing the net glomerular filtration rate. Capsular hydrostatic pressure would increase with a subsequent increase in the net glomerular filtration rate. Glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure would decrease, lowering the net glomerular filtration rate. There would be no effect on the net glomerular filtration rate.
