20. When blood pressure increases, blood vessels supplying the kidney will _________ to mount a steady rate of filtration. a. contract b. relax
The glomerular filtration rate would be decreased by (a) Constriction of the efferent arteriole (b) An increase in afferent arteriolar pressure (c) Compression of the renal capsule (d) An increase in the renal blood flow
In a normal kidney, which of the following conditions would cause an increase in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? (a) constriction of the afferent arteriole, (b) a decrease in the pressure of the glomerulus, (c) an increase in the capsular hydrostatic pressure (d) a decrease in the concentration of plasma proteins in the blood, (e) a decrease in the net glomerular filtration process.
