Which of the following statements is NOT true? Increases in NFP result in increases in GFR. Increases in capsular hydrostatic pressure result in increases in net filtration pressure. Net filtration pressure is equal to the glomerular hydrostatic pressure minus the sum of the blood colloid osmotic pressure and capsular hydrostatic pressure. Blood colloid osmotic pressure is based upon the plasma proteins and draws fluid back into the glomerulus.

Increases in NFP result in increases in GFR - This statement is true. Net filtration pressure (NFP) is one of the factors that determine glomerular filtration rate (GFR). An increase in NFP leads to an increase in GFR. Show more…

Which of the following is false about the nephron? Secretion does not occur in the nephron loop. Most reabsorption (about 85%) is facultative and can be adjusted. Secretion can include drugs, nitrogenous wastes and H+. Facultative reabsorption occurs in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts. Most secretion and reabsorption is performed by transport proteins.
